☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of DC's Shazam! The World's Mightiest Mortal series continues collecting the 1970s adventures of Captain Marvel and his extended Marvel Family. The collection features classic stories from the original Shazam! comic, including encounters with foes like Dr. Sivana and Black Adam, as well as team-ups with Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., and allies such as Isis and Kid Eternity. These tales showcase the golden-age-inspired heroics and family dynamics that defined the World's Mightiest Mortal during this era.
In "Who Stole Billy Batson's Thunder?", the fate of two Earths hangs in the balance as the immortal Martian wizard Karmang unleashes a plan to merge Superman’s and Captain Marvel’s worlds, using their combined power to free his imprisoned people. With Black Adam and the Quarrmer aiding his scheme, Karmang pits the two heroes against each other, but it’s the unlikely alliance with Supergirl and Mary Marvel that might just turn the tide. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Rich Buckler’s dynamic art, Dick Giordano’s inks, Adrienne Roy’s colors, and Gaspar Saladino’s lettering, this 2020 DC adventure delivers high-stakes action and emotional weight. The cover, a striking collaboration by Michael Cho and Ernie Chan with Kurt Schaffenberger, captures the clash of titans in vivid detail.
In "Who Stole Billy Batson's Thunder?", a bizarre interdimensional visitor named Zazzo-Plus arrives with a flashy, lightning-attracting helmet, setting his sights on stealing Billy Batson’s thunder—literally. With a sudden surge of power, he redirects the very lightning that grants Billy his abilities, leaving the young hero stunned and the Shazam Family on high alert.
In "The Case of the Kidnapped Congress," Billy Batson and Uncle Dudley—posing as Mentor—kick off their nationwide tour spotlighting young heroes, only to arrive in Washington, DC, just as the Capitol building vanishes without a trace. With Dr. Sivana behind the mystery, the duo must unravel the disappearance before the nation’s government collapses.
In "The Return of Black Adam," Sivana’s resurrection machine brings the ancient warrior back to life, driven by a thirst for vengeance against the Marvel Family. Now returned to the present, Black Adam confronts Captain Marvel’s legacy—only to face a new challenge in the form of Uncle Dudley, who stands ready to defend the world once more.
In "Mr. Tawny's Big Game," the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as Mr. Mind and his alien baseball team challenge the Detroit Tigers to a high-stakes game. With the odds stacked against them, Captain Marvel steps in to help turn the tide in the final inning.
In "When Earths Collide!", the immortal Martian wizard Karmang unleashes a cosmic threat that threatens to merge Superman’s Earth with Captain Marvel’s, driving the two heroes into a clash that tests their limits. With Black Adam and the Quarrmer aiding his scheme, Karmang’s plan hinges on chaos—until Supergirl and Mary Marvel step in to help reunite the heroes and prevent a multiversal disaster.
