About this Collection

This second volume of DC's Shazam! The World's Mightiest Mortal series continues collecting the 1970s adventures of Captain Marvel and his extended Marvel Family. The collection features classic stories from the original Shazam! comic, including encounters with foes like Dr. Sivana and Black Adam, as well as team-ups with Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., and allies such as Isis and Kid Eternity. These tales showcase the golden-age-inspired heroics and family dynamics that defined the World's Mightiest Mortal during this era.

In "Who Stole Billy Batson's Thunder?", the fate of two Earths hangs in the balance as the immortal Martian wizard Karmang unleashes a plan to merge Superman’s and Captain Marvel’s worlds, using their combined power to free his imprisoned people. With Black Adam and the Quarrmer aiding his scheme, Karmang pits the two heroes against each other, but it’s the unlikely alliance with Supergirl and Mary Marvel that might just turn the tide. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Rich Buckler’s dynamic art, Dick Giordano’s inks, Adrienne Roy’s colors, and Gaspar Saladino’s lettering, this 2020 DC adventure delivers high-stakes action and emotional weight. The cover, a striking collaboration by Michael Cho and Ernie Chan with Kurt Schaffenberger, captures the clash of titans in vivid detail.
