Shazam!

Jerry Ordway's iconic, heartfelt take on the Marvel Family was given a Brazilian lease on life in this 1996–1997 series from Editora Abril. Running for 13 issues, it reprinted Ordway's acclaimed 1990s revival of the character, which redefined Billy Batson as a modern teenager grappling with the legacy of a Golden Age hero. For Brazilian readers, this series was the primary introduction to a more grounded, character-driven Shazam! saga, offering a complete and resonant story arc far from the camp of the classic TV show. It remains a fondly remembered bridge between the classic Fawcett era and the character's later DC reinventions.
