About the series
In the 1970s, DC Comics revived the original Captain Marvel for a new generation with Shazam! (1973–1978), a 35-issue series that brought the Big Red Cheese back to the spinner racks. Writers like E. Nelson Bridwell, Elliot S! Maggin, and Denny O'Neil, alongside artists including original Captain Marvel co-creator C. C. Beck, Kurt Schaffenberger, and Bob Oksner, reunited Billy Batson with his Marvel Family and classic foes like Dr. Sivana. The series is notable for re-establishing the character's classic, whimsical tone after years of legal limbo, bridging the Golden Age with the Bronze Age of comics.
