Description

With one magic word: SHAZAM!

S - the Wisdom of Solomon
H - the Strength of Hercules
A - the Stamina of Atlas
Z - the Power of Zeus
A - the Courage of Achilles
M - the Speed of Mercury
!

This is the THUNDEROUS Original Cover Art to SHAZAM!: THE NEW BEGINNING #1 (April 1987), penciled and inked by the amazing Tom Mandrake. SHAZAM!: THE NEW BEGINNING was a 4 issue mini-series that re-introduced Captain Marvel into the DC Universe following the events of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS and preceding LEGENDS.

NOTE: Compare the original artwork to the published comic book - for some reason Billy Batson's face was redrawn by another artist prior to publication. Tom Mandrake's drawing of Billy Batson's face was published unaltered on the DC House Ad.

Captain Marvel / Shazam! - created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck.

SHAZAM! is copyright (c) and trademark DC Entertainment.
