The cover poses the gripping question: can Captain Marvel and his Marvel Family save Earth's population from being blown to atoms, all while confronting a formidable airborne threat that tests the very limits of their legendary power?\n\nThis Winter 1976 issue, No. 23 is a prime artifact of the Bronze Age of comics, capturing DC's bold relaunch of the beloved Captain Marvel mythos — a character first introduced by Fawcett Comics in 1939 and revived by DC in the early 1970s. The series is celebrated for its blend of wholesome heroism, imaginative villainy, and a tone that balances wide-eyed optimism with genuine peril — a combination that made it a cornerstone of its era. Tied to the contemporaneous Saturday morning TV show, this issue represents a fascinating crossroads of pop culture, leaving the reader to wonder: just how much magic does one word truly hold?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216188416219,"sku":"2026100009831-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a600c098-1e39-4c14-bee7-deb9ae855fcf.png?v=1788404863","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009831-secondhand-shazam-the-worlds-mightiest-mortal-with-one-magic-word","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
