☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume of DC's comprehensive reprint series continues collecting the classic 1970s adventures of Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) and the Marvel Family, originally published in the pages of Shazam! and World's Finest Comics. Featuring the work of writers and artists from the original run, this collection includes battles against familiar foes like Dr. Sivana, Mr. Mind, and Black Adam, as well as encounters with Captain Nazi and the monstrous Ibac. The volume also spotlights supporting characters such as Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., Uncle Dudley, and the talking tiger Mr. Tawky Tawny, preserving the whimsical yet heroic tone of the Golden Age-inspired stories.
In "The Captain and the King!", Billy is taken by criminals who believe they can force Captain Marvel to aid them—unaware that the hero and the boy are one and the same. With Billy in danger, Junior enlists the help of the cunning Magnificus Sivana to impersonate the mighty Captain Marvel in a high-stakes rescue mission. Written by E. Nelson Bridwell and brought to life by Don Newton’s dynamic art, with Dan Adkins’ inks, Adrienne Roy’s colors, and Todd Klein’s precise lettering, this 2021 issue delivers a clever twist on identity and heroism. The cover, a striking collaboration by Michael Cho and Don Newton, captures the tension with bold, expressive detail.
