Captain Marvel Adventures #94

This March 1949 Fawcett issue puts Captain Marvel at the center of a high-voltage spectacle — C. C. Beck's cover depicts the World's Mightiest Mortal in his red-and-gold costume, clutching a long rod that crackles against a blazing sphere of electricity while lightning bolts and glowing orbs fill the sky above a colorful city skyline. The promise of "Captain Marvel Fights the Battle of Electricity" makes it clear this is one of those wonderfully imaginative science-tinged adventures that made the series a favorite with 1949 readers. Beck's clean, dynamic linework keeps the action both exciting and approachable — a fine example of why Captain Marvel Adventures proudly boasted the largest circulation of any comic magazine.
