Capt. Marvel Adv. (Pre-DC Golden Age) pt 1 of 3 (001-25) Spring 1941-July1943
It's Captain Marvel- Golden Age Edition. Having read no current versions of him I can't compare them but it's likely there have been significant changes, given the pattern with every character I do know about.
Whiz Comics are where Captain Marvel made his debut. Shortly he was also in this title, Captain Marvel Adventures. This was Fawcett, not DC in these days. Later Fawcett went out of business and DC bought up the rights to Captain Marvel and other properties. But they waited too long to pubish him again and by the tyme they did Marvel Comics had trade marked Captain Marvel and DC could not publish a comic with that title. Thus was born the name Shazam, which was simply what BIlly Batson said to be Captain marvel back in these days.
Most of these are from fiche copies, not paper. This means the colors are washed out and the next is generally somewhat to very fuzzy. The fiche issues are copies of an older and inferior attempt to preserve these - the microfiche copying process.. Paper scans are needed and would be a big improvement for this and other titles. These issues seem pretty good as far as the actual dialogue goes but other text such as advertising and text stories is often illegible. They are also badly in need of cropping. They were left with broad white borders. There’s a good project for someone. Crop them and repost them Some find fiche scans merely difficult to read and some term them unreadable. I agree they are more difficult to read, but again most of these are pretty good as fiche go. I can read them and enjoy doing so. I am glad to have these. You must make your own judgement
Captain Marvel fights the Nazis in WWII
Captain Marvel Junior and the first appearance of Mary Marvel. The whole concept of Capt. Marvel Jr. is somewhat of an odd one when you think about it. Normally you have the adult hero and the teenage sidekick or an independent teenage version of the hero. But Captain Marvel was really Billy Batson a kid about the age of the C.M. Jr. Character. He wasn’t an adult either.
According to this cover this was outselling Superman or Batman at the time.
Covers like this make me cringe. And yet it appears they had no clue this could be offensive or hurtful. These men who drew comics were not necessarily racist or mean-spirited. This is just the way everyone drew. In 60 years will modern depictions of women in comics be considered just as bad? (I’m not offended or critical of the current style but some are, so I’m just wondering) Or could there be something we are completely blind to that will be seen in a different light someday? That’s pretty hard to disprove since by definition we are unable to notice it.
