    Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Otto Binder, Basil Wolverton, Clem Weisbecker, Bill Woolfolk, Pete Costanza, Kurt Schaffenberger, Pete Riss, Howard Boughner, Bill Ward, Carl Pfeufer and John Jordan. Fawcett's annual comics omnibus, published to coincide with the Christmas holidays, includes almost 200 pages of comics. Although often described as a collection of unsold, returned comics, the original issues were actually overprinted deliberately for inclusion in Xmas Comics. This issue includes Captain Marvel Adventures #110, Whiz Comics #125, Master Comics #115, and The Marvel Family #50. Believed to be the first series to feature enhanced covers. This issue features a green felt enhancement to the Christmas tree. The original Captain Marvel discovers what Sivana hoped he would never find: Sivana's collection of benevolent and life-improving inventions. Lance O'Casey must guide his ship, the Starfish, past the reefs while it's filled with barrels of nitroglycerine. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Butter Your Bread." And more stories by Marvel (Shazam) Family creators Otto Binder, C. C. Beck, and longtime Superman artist Kurt Schaffenberger.
