Description
When I bought this piece from a very well known, knowledgeable, and reputable source... there was much debate around the table of just who the artist is. CC Beck, George Tuska... a few others. But after some research on my part I'm convinced it is the great Kurt Schaffenberger. Even comparing it to his later work in DC's "Shazam", you can see the similarities. (especially in the tight lines used for great effect on the backgrounds) I bought this page because it's just so iconic! It's the page in the comic where Billy Batson says "SHAZAM!", lightning stikes down, and he turns into the wolrds mightiest mortal... Captain Marvel! This art is twice up and framed, making it hard to photograph without glare, but I did the best I could. I hope you like it!

Shazam, it is great to see a golden age page with Captain Marvel and Bill Batson.  Schaffenberger was the right artist for the Captain.
