Captain Marvel Jr. #94

This February 1951 Fawcett issue puts Captain Marvel Jr. in a genuinely unsettling predicament: a turbaned, sharp-clawed genie looms over him, having stretched the hero's own nose into absurdly long tendrils that coil down to the floor — all conjured from a gleaming golden oil lamp at the creature's side. Kurt Schaffenberger's cover artwork blends Arabian Nights fantasy with superhero peril in a way that feels both whimsical and genuinely threatening. Inside, Bill Woolfolk writes and Joe Certa illustrates the featured story, "The Menace of the Medicine Man," promising plenty of the imaginative adventure that made this Fawcett series a joy throughout its run.
