Captain Marvel Adventures #5
In "Capt. Marvel's Double Trouble," Billy Batson stumbles upon a mysterious movie screening at a local theater, organized by the glamorous Beautia for an orphan's party—only to realize the star of the show might be a fraud. When the "live" Captain Marvel takes the stage, Billy's instincts kick in, unmasking a scheme by the ever-devious Sivana, who's stolen the Princess of Mentonia and used her to lure the hero into a trap. With C. C. Beck's dynamic art bringing every twist to life, this 1941 adventure blends suspense and spectacle in a story that's as clever as it is classic.
