    Cover by Mac Raboy. Stories by Otto Binder and others. Art by Al Carreno, Bernard Baily and Mac Raboy. Superhero action with Freddy Freeman, who gains the same powers as his hero Captain Marvel, better known these days as Shazam. Horror-mask-wearing Mr. Macabre is back, stealing oil from pipelines to hinder America's war effort. (This story opens with Captain Marvel Jr. being paged by a bellhop, just like in the classic ads.) A modern-day Pied Piper mesmerizes children, but this one is working for the Nazis. As Freddy tries to shut down Captain Nazi's black market in stolen British goods, he's aided by a mysterious phantom who resembles Sherlock Holmes. Plus a teaser ad for Mary Marvel that just shows her silhouette alongside the Captains Marvel. The Return of Mr. Macabre; Willie Wynn: The Aerojeep; The Island of Desperation; The Pied Piper of Himmler; The Black Market. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
