    Stories and art by Otto Binder, Jack Binder, Kurt Schaffenberger, Bill Woolfolk, and Howard Boughner. Fawcett's most popular heroes, the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) and family, in solo and shared adventures. Sivana sees the movie "Gaslight" and decides to drive the original Captain Marvel crazy, before the word "gaslighting" was even a thing. Mary Marvel must stop a war between the Cat People of Vesta and the Dog People of Juno, in a truly adorable story (the cats use "flea guns" against the dogs....), so she enlists the help of Marvel Bunny. Captain Marvel, Jr. agrees to be the counterweight in a county fair ox-pulling contest, in a story that may feature early art by future Mad "Lighter Side" artist Dave Berg. Plus a plethora of vintage comics-format ads, including a hair-cream ad featuring detective Sam Spade, and a Tootsie Roll ad, Captain Tootsie Traps Killer Bear with Invisible Light, with art by Shazam co-creator CC Beck. Captain Marvels Dilemma; Boxcar Benny; Lazy Lee; Peewee Pete; Hopeful Harry; Tough Assignment; Captain Marvel Jr.: The Great Ox Pull; Mary Marvel: The Asteroid Adventure; No Mistake; The Marvel Family Puzzle Page; Cub Reporter; Captain Marvel: Vulcans Visitation. 48 pages, Full Color.
