Gwandanaland Comics #1935

This 2018 Gwandanaland treasury collects select stories from 1942's Whiz Comics and Captain Marvel Adventures, centering on the World's Mightiest Mortal in all his Golden Age glory. The reproduced cover from Whiz Comics #25 — penciled by C. C. Beck and inked by Pete Costanza — puts Captain Marvel front and center in his red-and-gold uniform, fists clenched as sparks fly from a massive industrial turbine he's bringing to a halt, with armed figures lurking in the background. It's a vivid snapshot of the Fawcett era's bold, energetic storytelling, making this volume a genuinely satisfying dive into some of comics' most spirited early adventures.
