    Seventy years later, an unprecedented assortment of these collectibles are gathered together by award-winning writer/designer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear. Join Kidd, Spear, and the World's Mightiest Mortal in this first, fully authorized celebration of ephemera, artwork, and rare, one-of-a-kind toys, and recapture the magic that was SHAZAM!

These collectibles now sell for outrageous prices on eBay and in comic book stores and conventions. Seventy years later, an unprecedented assortment of these artifacts are gathered together by award-winning writer/designer Chip Kidd and photographer Geo Spear. Join Kidd, Spear, and the World's Mightiest Mortal in this first, fully authorized celebration of ephemera, artwork, and rare, one-of-a-kind toys, and recapture the magic that was the power of SHAZAM!

    NOTE: "Back when comic books were king, when they sold their most, the World's Mightiest Mortal reigned supreme. No one held a candle to him. This book celebrates the lost wonder of the character who dominated the greatest period of the comic book art form. Chip Kidd has created a tribute to my personal favorite super hero -- one that he has always deserved." - Alex Ross
