“The Power of Shazam!”

About this Collection

This collection reprints the initial story arc from DC's 1994 revival of the classic Captain Marvel mythos, written and drawn by Jerry Ordway. It follows Billy Batson as he reclaims the mantle of Shazam from the evil Black Adam, while also introducing a new supporting cast and updating the Golden Age hero for a modern audience.

In this pivotal 1994 issue of The Power of Shazam!, Jerry Ordway—writing, drawing, inking, and coloring—delivers a gripping origin story that redefines the legacy of the Shazam family. When Theo Adam murders the Batsons and steals Teth-Adam’s scarab, he sets off a chain of events that leads young Billy Batson to the wizard Shazam, who grants him the power to become Captain Marvel. The story unfolds with tension and emotional weight as Billy confronts Adam, only to discover that the true source of Adam’s power lies in the ancient scarab—and that even the mightiest villain can be undone by its removal. The cover by Jerry Ordway captures the moment of transformation with striking clarity.
