What I found more interesting being a HUGE Capt.Marvel/Shazam fan. Was the tibit about CC Beck & Otta Binder & Capt.Shazam. <br /><br />It's too bad Marvel/Roy Thomas got the copyright on the name Capt.Marvel. GGRRR!! I always wonder what if Stan Lee had did this in the early 60's with Jack "KING" Kirby, instead of doing Thor. If Marvel had bought & updated CM. A cross between Peter Parker/Billy Batson Thor/CM. It makes you wonder what might have been a second life for Capt.Marvel!Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-78634257371917699532010-07-12T02:22:14.059-04:002010-07-12T02:22:14.059-04:00Mission Creep would have been a good name for a vi...Mission Creep would have been a good name for a villain to oppose SGB.<br /><br />I've never been able to bring myself to read this comic before. It wasn't quite as bad as I feared...though it reminds me of Herbie the Fat Fury more than anything else, what with the virtual omnipotence and sheer preadolescent wish fulfillment of the hero. If it had lasted longer, I wonder if it might have turned into something more satirical, like Simon and Kirby's FIGHTING AMERICAN?<br /><br />(Also, FATMAN was an utterly charming and warm-hearted series that deserves way more respect than it gets...)<br /><br />Excellent post, Jonathan!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.com
