Shazam!: The World's Mightiest Mortal #3
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.
