Shazam! The Original Captain Marvel Issue #1 marks the triumphant return of the legendary Captain Marvel, the golden-age superhero who once outsold Superman himself, now relaunched in a brand-new series that sees Billy Batson thunder into action alongside the Man of Steel in a landmark team-up for the ages.\n\nPencilled and inked by the character's iconic co-creator C.C. Beck, this debut issue channels the charm, warmth, and wholesome adventure that made the original Captain Marvel a cultural phenomenon in the 1940s. Beck's clean, expressive line work and the comic's joyful, all-ages tone stand in deliberate contrast to the darker superhero stories of the era, making Shazam! a fascinating artifact of comics history — one that asks whether the magic of a simpler, more innocent heroism can survive in a changing world. Can one word still move mountains?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203110838491,"sku":"2026100009724-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b2b81a86-98c1-47ff-81d4-cf00c31cf3b7.png?v=1788144021","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009724-secondhand-shazam-the-original-captain-marvel-vol-1-no-1","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
