The 1970s adventures of Shazam--Now the star of his very own
movie--are collected in color for the first time!
In 1973 DC brought back one of the most beloved superheroes of all time:
Shazam!
After a 20-year publication hiatus, the popular Golden Age hero (dubbed
the Big Red Cheese by his archnemesis, Dr. Sivana) returned with a bang
for a series of all-new adventures. Back in the '40s, comic books
featuring Shazam sold millions of copies. These comics from the '70s
combined the timeless and cartoony artwork of C.C. Beck (the original
artist from the 1940s) with a modern, self-conscious sensibility from
writers such as Denny O'Neil.
Shazam!: The World's Mightiest Mortal Vol. 1 collects Shazam! #1-18.
