This landmark anthology chronicles the storied history of Captain Marvel, the World's Mightiest Mortal, gathering an essential collection of stories spanning three transformative decades of comic book history, from the colourful optimism of the 1940s through the psychedelic reinventions of the 1970s.\n\nWith an authoritative introduction by E. Nelson Bridwell, one of DC Comics' most respected historians and editors, this volume presents the evolution of a cultural icon whose mythology rivals that of Superman himself. Bridwell's scholarly yet accessible commentary illuminates the creative forces behind Captain Marvel's rise, fall, and triumphant revival, tracing the shifting tides of American popular culture through the lens of sequential art. A must for any serious collector or student of comics history, Shazam! From the Forties to the Seventies leaves the reader wondering — how many other golden-age legends remain waiting to be rediscovered?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203113492699,"sku":"2026200015864-SECONDHAND","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/86772350-2c21-44d2-a8ad-bdfdc10a4463.png?v=1788144133","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015864-secondhand-shazam-from-the-forties-to-the-seventies","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
