    Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Otto Binder, C. C. Beck, Al Carreno and Pete Costanza. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. Captain Marvel is finagled into filling in for the absent mayor of tiny Yoklburg, who also serves as the local cop, fireman, justice of the peace, and even hotel bellboy. Sharp-shooting action girl Conchita Marquita Pepita Etcetera thinks her new mail-order husband is Golden Arrow, and when she finds out it's actually Pancho, the lead starts flying. Spy Smasher seeks the saboteurs targeting Spy Harbor. Plus a PSA on wartime paper rationing, Captain Marvel Puts the Scraps in the Scrap. Captain Marvel: Jack-of-All-Trades; Golden Arrow: Two-Gun Totin' Mama; Wicky and O'Shawnessy; Spy Smasher: The Wreckers of Spy Harbor; Ibis the Invincible: The Deadly Dead. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
