Captain Marvel Jr. #104

Fawcett's December 1951 cover for Captain Marvel Jr. #104 sets a wonderfully playful tone, promising "laughs, laughs, and more laughs" as the World's Mightiest Boy faces off against the Queen of the Witches. Bud Thompson's cover art captures the two mid-flight against a glowing full moon — Captain Marvel Jr. in his blue-and-gold costume raising a hand toward a cackling green-skinned witch astride her broomstick, with a hissing black cat perched dramatically atop the scene. Writer Bill Woolfolk and artist Bud Thompson deliver what looks to be a lighthearted supernatural showdown that balances superhero action with genuine charm.
