Captain Marvel Jr. #110

From Fawcett's June 1952 lineup comes this delightfully offbeat issue of Captain Marvel Jr., billed as "The World's Mightiest Boy." The cover by Bud Thompson presents a wonderfully comic scene: a composed, arms-folded Captain Marvel Jr. stands beside a flower-garland-draped donkey wearing a "Success" sash and the number 13, while a crowd cheers and a photographer snaps away to a resounding "HEE HAW!" The issue spotlights "The Derby Donkey — The Story of the Donkey Who Won Turfdom's Greatest Race," promising a story as charming and unexpected as its winning underdog subject.
