Superhero action with Freddy Freeman, who gains the same powers as his hero Captain Marvel, better known these days as Shazam. Sivana Jr.'s latest invention reduces all language to gibberish, causing worldwide chaos and spurring Captain Marvel Jr. to action. In an educational strip by Shazam co-creator CC Beck, Dr. Science explains rocket science to young Johnny, and predicts future "rocket liners" (not yet) and space stations. A mad scientist's invention removes all the sand from a small community, and deposits it in the city where Captain Marvel Jr. sells his papers. Plus a vintage ad for Paramount Pictures' When Worlds Collide (the movie and the comic). The World of Babel; Mannerly Manners; Kanvasback: The Easy Mark; Faster Than Sound; Painted in Blood; Freddy Freeman's Lost Week End; The Great Sandstorm. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
