Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil

Jeff Smith, the celebrated creator of Bone, brings his signature storytelling charm to the DC Universe with this 2009 series. Reimagining the classic Captain Marvel villain group, Smith both writes and illustrates a single-issue tale that distills the magic and whimsy of the original Fawcett Comics era. It's a fond, self-contained look at Billy Batson's world from a master cartoonist's perspective.
