Shazam! #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Pied Un-Piper," Shazam! faces a bizarre threat when the mysterious Allegro Scruff unleashes his music, drawing in alien invaders with increasingly strange appetites—first a race that feeds on pollution, then one that raids chocolate stores, and finally a group obsessed with stealing the color green. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with vivid detail by Kurt Schaffenberger, this 1975 DC adventure blends whimsy and wonder in a story that’s as quirky as it is memorable. The cover, by Bob Oksner, captures the surreal tone perfectly.
In "The Pied Un-Piper," Jo finds herself unexpectedly drawn into a bizarre cosmic chase when her music unwittingly summons three alien races—each obsessed with stealing something utterly specific: pollution, chocolate, and the color green. With no time to prepare, she must outwit these interstellar oddballs before their strange heists spiral out of control.
