“...In the Beginning ...”

In "...In the Beginning ...", Captain Marvel breaks free from the trap Dr. Sivana devised, unraveling a decades-long mystery that left the Marvel Family frozen in suspended animation. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with dynamic art by C. C. Beck—whose distinctive style defines the issue’s look—this pivotal story reclaims the legacy of the Shazam! mythos. The cover, a collaborative effort by Beck, Nick Cardy, and Murphy Anderson, captures the moment with bold, timeless energy.
