I like how the only thing they feel the need to explain with the river is that it was "nearby"

Did he change back in public back in the day?

reading a bunch of this stuff, it seems like thew idea was that Capt. Marvel simply disappeared when he said SHAZAM! and Billy reappeared nearby, it wasn't so much of a transformation, more like a summoning or desummmoning. From the point of view of the crowd there was a loud flash and then he just wasn't there anymore and billy just walked back into frame
Alexander Russell
Like there's a bunch of times where Billy will transform into Capt. Marvel right in front of somebody and they don't catch on.

Also billy gets a ton of weird-ass gadgets in this series, including his own Robot plane in issue 6.

Ok so I'm going to stop for now, but can anyone direct me to a set of more clear/colorful scans? Because only the first issue looks very good at all and the rest look really awful, like this.
Grayson Myers
If anyone cares this was actually released on blu-ray in 2017
I figured it would probably have been lost or forgotten

Thanks for the storytime.

yer welcome
These old captain marvel comics are honestly hilarious, expect when they become bizarrely racist
Christopher Kelly
The entirety of Captain Marvel Adventures was wasn't reprinted so we're stuck with these shitty scans. The scan qualities may differ from each issue with some being better than others. I just kinda put up with the awful scans and try to adjust the color correction with the program I use.
Henry Martinez
what program is that?

I kind of like this Z fellow and his gentleman ways, Is he a one of villain of did he showed up later?
Adam Green
He might show up during monster society but I haven't gotten that far yet
I gotta tell ya, the war propaganda really ratchets up past the 7th or so issue, like 1 in 4 stories are about CM personally flying over to Germany to kick hitler's shit in or making the Japanese look like dumbasses
Easton Baker

Fuck billy is hardcore

It say's Captain Marvel in the cover.

Bump because storytimes like this deserve to stay alive.
Jordan Jenkins
does anyone know the issues Kirby and Simon worked on?
Brody Lewis
It's only a handful and I think they are reprinted in that Anniversary book that DC
Charles Murphy
Does Billy have any defenses at all? He is just a kid who you could just murder normally if you knew his secret? The magic doesn't give him any protections at all without saying the word?
Elijah Russell
There's part later in the thing where a ghostly version of captain marvel will sometimes lend advice using the wisdom of solomon, but other than that, no.

>hip Lovecraft.

That's because it's the Fawcett Comics version of the character. That guy's been dead for 66 years. National Comics, later called DC Comics, sued Fawcett until they decided to settle and just go out of the comics business.
When Fawcett stopped printing comic books, they also stopped earning money to justify the necessary legal maintenance of their IP. That meant that the name "Captain Marvel" lapsed as a trademark (trademarks, unlike copyrights, have always needed to be renewed - you can trademark a name, but it can't be copyrighted and never could be).
This meant that 10 years later, in 1963, Atlas Comics were free to change their name to Marvel Comics without any complaint from Fawcett (which still existed as a publishing company, but not as a comic book publisher). 5 years after that, in 1968, Marvel Comics debuted a character called "Captain Marvel", trademarking the name for themselves. Their character was certainly a homage to the Fawcett character, who nobody ever expected to see republished, but not a direct copy.
It took DC Comics 5 more years to realize that they could rent the old Fawcett characters and republish them. They did this and immediately launched legal action over the trademark against Marvel Comics. Marvel counter-sued as is usual. At discovery it was shown that DC didn't hold the trademark they were suing over because Fawcett had let it lapse, so DC were forced to settle. Their planned Captain Marvel tv show became the Shazam! show instead, as DC agreed never to try to market their character, which they finally bought outright in 1978 from Fawcett, under the name "Captain Marvel". In 2009 DC Comics finally settled on officially calling the character "Shazam", including retroactively.
Of particular note is that Marvel Comics is actually named after the superhero comic book "Marvel Mystery Comics" published in October 1939 - 2 months before Whiz Comics #1 hit stands, and 3 months before Captain Marvel debuted in Whiz Comics #2.

Bumping, because people need to see the Good Old Shit (TM).

This is Yea Forums at its best. You're a gem, user.

>including retroactively
That's fucking false and he appeared as captain marvel in thunderworld ajd convergence you lying casual fuck.
It was never officially made a different character that's what fans of the fawcett version just say. You clearly a casual who's obsessed over the issue because you think it gives you some kind of worth.
The character is captain marvel. Nobody gives a fuck what shills and casuals have to say and nobody gives a fuck about ANYTHING that was said by that dumbass bitch Diane Nelson or that faggot Geoff johns. The new 52 was a fucking failure and everyone involved was and is a terrible brand steward on the level of the New coke dipshits. They're legendarily inept.
So fuck ANY of you faggots spouting this "its Shazam" or "he's a different character" shit. Fuck your self and read the comics you claim to. He still is Cap and he always fucking will be.

DC gave up all right to that name 46 years ago. They don't even use it in a legacy context any more. They were the company that killed off not just the original Captain Marvel but the rival that published him, because they claimed that he was just a knock-off of Superman. They only bought him because they didn't take legal advice first and ascertain whether he was still trademarked, and they wanted to fuck over Marvel Comics at a time when Marvel were outselling them 2:1, had been called Marvel Comics for a decade after the superhero title they'd put out as Timely 30 years before that and months before there was any sort of Captain Marvel, and had been publishing their own Captain Marvel for 5 years.
DC are the villains in this. I know you don't like it. I don't like it! I'd much rather Billy had stayed dead instead of getting co-opted into a shitty shared universe with face-off Joker and whatever the fuck Darkseid is even supposed to be these days, but that's where we are.
You know who else got fucked by DC? Bill Parker and CC Beck. Neither of them went back to comics - Parker stayed with Fawcett after he completed his military service but never went back to editing comic books, Beck stayed on comics until the end of Fawcett Comics and then went into illustration. You should be celebrating them today! They should have their creations getting shared universes from some overblown multimedia conglomerate! Their names should be being thrown around in arguments by neckbeards the way Lee, Kirby, Finger, Siegel, Shuster and all the rest are! Instead you're sitting here yelling "fuck yourself" at people who know more about the facts of the matter than you do, because you're super important and you've got all the answers.
You fuck yourself. Not like anybody else is ever going to.

>nobody gives a fuck about ANYTHING that was said by that dumbass bitch Diane Nelson or that faggot Geoff johns
I would think DC Comics, who work for them, would care. Especially since if they tried to use the name in any kind of marketing context they'd be sued into bankruptcy thanks to DC's written settlement of the issue in 1973, which explicitly states that DC will never, ever use the name to market the character again.
What good is a character if you can't market it?
His name is Shazam.
>fans of the fawcett version
Legally the only version of the character that's ever been called Captain Marvel is the Fawcett Comics version. The DC version is Shazam. Go on, find a DC Comic titled Captain Marvel. We'll wait.
Carter Gutierrez
Holy shit Billy
Thomas Wright
No one gives a fuck what layers and/or corporations name something. He is Captain Marvel to the fans that knew him as such first. No fuck off cunt.
Henry Powell
*Holy Moley
Liam Jones
Sorry for your frustration, but this feels like a bit of moot point. Shazam the word was always a core part of Captain Marvel's gig. I don't see why its the worst thing to lose the generic name for one fitting the Canon. At least most of it has been touched up but respects the core that it was made from.
