Cover detached.

Cover by Mac Raboy. Stories by Otto Binder and Sid Lazarus. Art by Mac Raboy and Sid Lazarus. Superhero action with Freddy Freeman, who gains the same powers as his hero Captain Marvel, better known these days as Shazam. Sivana's latest invention gives him the strength of hundreds of men, which is even greater than Captain Marvel Jr. himself. Shipwrecked on an island, four people compete to find a lost treasure first, and Marvel Jr. has to keep them from killing each other in the meantime. A troll uses magic to turn an egg incubator into a vehicle and make mischief. Holiday-themed cover by Mac Raboy seems to feature Santa Marvel, not Captain Marvel in a Santa suit. The Sinister Stamps; Demlins; Sivana, the Muscle Midget; Invasion at Dawn; On Treasure Island; Snortville Sneeze; The Vest Pocket Levitator. 56 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
