Shazam! #2

In "The Astonishing Arch Enemy," Captain Marvel faces off against the cunning Mr. Mind, who returns to steal his lost glasses from a museum—only to unleash a terrifying plan to destroy the United States. With the help of the Saint Louis Arch, the Marvel Family turns the iconic structure into a weapon, using it as a tuning fork to expose a hidden swarm of worms beneath the city. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by C. C. Beck—both inks and pencils—this 1973 classic showcases the creative synergy that defined the era, while the cover by Beck and Jack Adler captures the story’s dramatic tension in striking detail.
