    Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Basil Wolverton, Bernie Krigstein, Gus Ricca and Bill Woolfolk. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. A stolen golden arrow is enough to frame Golden Arrow for murder, in a story with early art by EC legend Bernie Krigstein. When crooks try to swindle a fishing fleet with phony documents, Captain Marvel's hands are tied - so young Leopold becomes Red Cloak, the boy pirate. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Put a Wave in Your Hair." And "Comix Cards" (like the later Marvel Value Stamps) featuring two popular characters, Hopalong Cassidy and Nyoka the Jungle Girl. Captain Marvel and the Boy Pirate!; Witless Witmore: Book-Minded; Whipper-Snappers; Golden Arrow and the Secret of the Golden Arrow; Wickys Bubble Trouble; Turn About; Ibis the Invincible and the King of Darkness; Wilbur the Waiter; The Culture Corner: How to Put a Wave in Your Hair. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
