Captain Marvel vs The Monster Society Of Evil SHAZAM! RARE HTF Serial Book
SHAZAM THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL was a legendary 22 Chapter Serial published by Fawcett Comics in the pages of Captain Marvel Adventures in the 1940s-- it was the first case of an ongoing adventure of this scale in comics history! This graphic novel is 232 pages in full color. In this 22 part serial, Captain Marvel (Shazam) faces his deadliest challenge yet- a group of evil-minded villains together under the leadership of the genius Mr Mind! The only thing greater than their desire for criminal behavior is their hatred of Earth's Mightiest Mortal-- and they want him dead! Captain Marvel (now known as Shazam) was the most popular superhero during the Golden Age of Comics-- outselling even Superman. DC Comics has attempted to bring it back to print several times but they cancelled it after realizing some of the aspects of the supporting cast are painted in what would today be considered a racial stereotype. Well you can get this book in a softcover edition-- graded in VF/NM but a slight bend at the bottom right corner of the front cover-- because the stories are in the public domain and another publisher put it out there before it was banned again. We think you're adult enough to recognize these stories are a product of their time and you can get over the stereotypical parodies without getting triggered.
The pages inside the book have all the wonderful flaws of an actual comic book of the period. The back page shows the news that the release was cancelled by DC Comics. If you want to read this series this is your only chance. No break in the spine as shown in the final scan. I did not see a publication date in this book.
Scans are of the actual comic you will receive. Also see Black Adam's second bronze age appearance in the All New Limited Collector's Edition Treasury C-58 Superman vs SHAZAM!, where he battles Superman, Captain Marvel, and Supergirl in 1978. Series ran for 35 issues in the 1970's and all are available individually or as a lot in my store.
