Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Bill Woolfolk, Otto Binder, Pete Morisi and Kurt Schaffenberger. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. In his final adventure in Whiz Comics, Billy Batson investigates mysterious disappearances and discovers the "human deep-freeze" maintained by the intelligent, many-tentacled Kraken of legend. Like any Lovecraftian hero, a temporarily Shazam-less Billy responds, "No - No! I'll go gibbering mad!" In another horror-themed tale, war hero Jaspar's spirit pursues his murderer. When archaeologists unleash evil spirits from the tomb of Pharaoh En-Tep, only Ibis knows how to contain them.
