Captain Marvel Adventures #32
In "Deep in the Heart of Dallas," Billy Batson races against time when Mr. Mind unveils Great Big Bertha, a colossal cannon on Planetoid Punkus aimed at Earth with mile-long shells. With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, Billy barely escapes to summon Captain Marvel—just as the weapon is about to fire. Written by Otto Binder and brought to life by the dynamic art of C. C. Beck, this 1944 adventure delivers classic superhero action with a uniquely imaginative twist. The cover, also by Beck, captures the moment of impending doom with bold, expressive energy.
