LIBRARY artefact #039 THUNDERWORLD #1 Our look behind the scenes at The Multiversity continues unexpectedly with a moment’s reflection on this attempt to create a definitive, for-the-ages Captain Marvel book! This was our take on the original and best Captain Marvel, the Fawcett Comics character created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck in 1939.
I like the idea that all three members of the Marvel Family use the word SHAZAM to transform. But since you mentioned your preference for Mary having her own gods, it got me thinking. If Junior were to have his own gods, and not just piggy back on Billy’s, off the top of your head do you have any picks for who they’d be?
Looking forward to Ultra Comics annotations, reckon there was a lot going on there we all missed. I read some of the later pages before the earlier ones and got the story gloriously jumbled, dunno if I was "supposed" to.
Thank you for calling him Captain Marvel and not Shazam. That new nomenclature (necessitated by Marvel co-opting the name in the 60’s) always bugged me, not least because every time he says his name, he turns back to Billy!
I had assumed the Sivana with sunglasses and a goatee was a reference to Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. An evil meth dealer seems like a perfect villain for Earth-47.
Grant, one of these days I'm going to have a conversation with you about the merits of later day Miley Cyrus.
