About the series

Anglo-American Publishing Company Limited’s Captain Marvel Comics ran for 48 issues from 1942 to 1945, offering wartime readers a steady dose of the World’s Mightiest Mortal. While the series is most associated with the classic Captain Marvel—the Big Red Cheese empowered by the wizard Shazam—it also featured a rotating cast of backup features and heroes typical of the era’s anthology style. As a key title from a Canadian publisher during World War II, it helped keep the character visible on newsstands while the U.S. market was dominated by Fawcett, making it a distinctive piece of the Captain Marvel legacy.
