Cover by C.C. Beck. Stories and art by Basil Wolverton, Bernie Krigstein, Pete Costanza, Kurt Schaffenberger and Bill Woolfolk. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. The seer called the Prophet leads his gang from 1898 to the 1940s to steal future technology, but not if Captain Marvel can help it. Golden Arrow is captured while trying to warn settlers of an attack by the Blue Hill warriors, in a story with early art by EC legend Bernie Krigstein. When sailors are murdered by a "glacier man" from the ancient past, Prince Ibis and Taia investigate. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Bedeck a Barren Bean." And a Tootsie Roll ad, Captain Tootsie Traps Killer Bear with Invisible Light, with art by Shazam co-creator CC Beck. Captain Marvel: The Time Kidnappers!; The Culture Corner; Muleface; Wilbur the Waiter; Golden Arrow: The Warring Tribe; Wicky and O'Shawnessy; Ibis the Invincible: The Glacier Man. 32 pages, Full Color.
