Issue #22 (February 1976) plunges that hero headlong into another explosive confrontation, illustrated with the bold, kinetic energy that defined DC Comics' Bronze Age superhero titles. This issue continues Captain Marvel's action-packed adventures, pitting him against colorful villains in urban battlegrounds rendered in the vivid, dynamic art style iconic to the era. Published as a tie-in to the popular Saturday morning TV series of the same name, the comic captures the dual appeal of its source material — wholesome heroism wrapped in spectacular, larger-than-life combat.\n\nShazam! stands as a fascinating artifact of 1970s popular culture, illustrating DC's strategic effort to revive the once-dominant Captain Marvel character for a new generation of readers and young television audiences. The series chronicles the enduring mythology of a champion imbued with the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury — a legacy rich enough to captivate any comics enthusiast. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a curious newcomer, this slice of Bronze Age history leaves one burning question: just how mighty can one magic word truly be?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216187826395,"sku":"2026100009832-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bcca9ed0-bdc0-466a-a741-5a78ac4cb08f.png?v=1788404860","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009832-secondhand-shazam-the-worlds-mightiest-mortal","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
