Captain Marvel Adventures #27
In "Captain Marvel Makes a Movie Hit," the Marvel Family faces a bizarre threat when Mr. Mind, hidden in plain sight, uses his cosmic brain ray to send giant worms burrowing beneath city skyscrapers. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated with dynamic precision by C. C. Beck and the Beck Shop, this 1943 adventure sees Captain Marvel confront the mind-controlling menace in a battle that’s as clever as it is colossal—right under the nose of the city he’s sworn to protect. The cover by C. C. Beck captures the story’s playful yet perilous tone, a hallmark of Fawcett’s golden age charm.
