    Cover by Mac Raboy. Stories and art by C.C. Beck, Mac Raboy, Phil Bard, Tom McNamara, Charles Sultan and Joseph J. Millard. Fawcett's first squarebound comic is an anthology of its greatest superheroes, including Bulletman, Spy Smasher, and of course the original Captain Marvel (Shazam). After a series of robberies in Central Park, Captain Marvel goes undercover as a policeman. Mr. Scarlet and Pinky investigate the murder of "John D. Rokkafeller" and learn that the crime was committed for a penny. Spy Smasher faces The Spy Smasher Movie Peril, a thinly-disguised plug for the Spy Smasher movie serial. (Fawcett's characters pioneered the live-action superhero movie.) Captain Marvel; Bulletman; The Camera Sees Death; Minute Man: The Return of the Black Poet; Chubby; Spy Smasher; Strange But True; Mr. Scarlet and Pinky: Crimes for a Penny. 96 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.15. Grade: GD+ 2.5 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
