“Ibac the Cursed!”

A fun-house mirror scene takes center stage on C. C. Beck's cover for this 1973 issue, as a young Billy Batson stands before a set of warped mirrors — each one reflecting a different, distorted version of Captain Marvel back at him, from a towering musclebound figure to a comically rotund one. The tagline "The Mirrors That Revealed the Future!" hints at something stranger than a carnival trick, making the setup all the more intriguing. With Elliot S! Maggin scripting and Beck handling every line of art and lettering, Shazam! #4 delivers a warm, offbeat charm that feels right at home in DC's early-'70s revival of the Original Captain Marvel.
