Captain Marvel is a fun, classic comic with long-term character development that’s hard to find in the modern era of short runs and canceled series. It’s a great example of a comic that doesn’t have to shake up the lore for each issue and can focus on the lighter, more wholesome stories we love to read about heroes battling villains.
The original Captain Marvel was an orphan in Fawcett City gifted with powers by the Wizard Shazam. Designed by writer Bill Parker and artist C. C. Beck, this Captain Marvel was much more whimsical than his Kryptonian counterpart. He wore primary-colored tights, had a lightning bolt insignia rather than a big red “S,” and even had his own nemesis — a bald, gruff evil scientist who was a straight up parody of Lex Luthor-like villains like Dr. Sivana.
After DC won the copyright battle with Fawcett, they quickly moved Captain Marvel into the spotlight. He first appears in Action Comics #1 (February 1940), with a brief cameo in the background of a Superman/Batman fight. He also made appearances in reprinted Superman stories in Justice League America (1987) #63 and #600 and in a non-continuity montage of the many heroes on Earth in Adventures of Superman (1987).
After that, Captain Marvel was featured in the Golden Age revival title Justice Society of America. He was a regular on the team during this time, and it was here that his Post-Crisis origin story and connection to the Fawcett universe began to fade. Despite this, he was still the powerhouse in the JSA and battled other heroes across DC’s multiverse, including even the Avengers.
