    Cover by Kurt Schaffenberger. Stories and art by Basil Wolverton, Otto Binder, Kurt Schaffenberger, and Louis Cazeneuve. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. King Neptune attacks the surface world with his power to command sea creatures - which is no joke, as it turns out. Lance is hired as a bodyguard by the president of "Ikestan," who's been targeted by an assassin while he's touring the South Pacific. Ibis learns that the prime minister of a foreign nation has been possessed by the spirit of a dark wizard. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Open a Sticky Window." And a vintage ad for The Captain Marvel Club. Captain Marvel Battles the Marine Invasion!; Wilbur the Waiter; Doc Sorebones; Freshman Freddy: The Poor Excuse; The Culture Corner; Golden Arrow: Landslide Menace; Mr. Moneybags; Wicky and O'Shawnessy; Lance O'Casey: The Photo of Death; Jim and Jam; Ibis the Invincible: The Magic Mirror; The Whiz Quiz. 48 pages, Full Color.
