    Stories and art by Howard Boughner and others. Fawcett's most popular heroes, the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) and family, in solo and shared adventures. In an issue-length adventure, visitors to a memorial statue discuss The Marvel Family's final adventure, helping a philanthropist build an exhibit that is supposed to unite the world in peace. But his dark secret spells doom for The Marvel Family, in a tale that (in retrospect) seems to echo a pivotal scene in Alan Moore's Marvelman/ Miracleman saga. Plus a plethora of vintage comics-format ads, a puzzle page, and a PSA for War Bonds featuring the original Captain Marvel (Shazam). The Seven Wonders of the Modern World; Headline Harry: The Starry Night; The Artist Fights Again; The Marvel Family Puzzle Page; Toothache Tex. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
