Cover by Mac Raboy. Stories by Otto Binder and others. Art by Mac Raboy and Al Carreno. Superhero action with Freddy Freeman, who gains the same powers as his hero Captain Marvel, better known these days as Shazam. As Germany's fortunes decline in WWII, Hitler and the Nazi command regroup on a moonbase to plan the destruction of Earth - but luckily, Marvel Jr. notices that a captive moon-man in a zoo speaks with a German accent! In a story that reflects its times (with art by Mac Raboy), an Axis scientist invents a formula that turns Americans into Japanese loyal to the Axis. Sivana's latest plot involves time-travel to the American Revolution and a deal with Benedict Arnold, but Captain Marvel Jr. is right on his heels, in a story with a cameo by Captain Marvel/Shazam. The Moon Menace; Demlins; The Yellow Curse; Pix Puzzles; Sivana and an Ancestor's Enemy; Li'l Alaska; Listen Soldier!; Cops of the Crooked Cross. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
