Whiz Comics

Derby Publishing’s Whiz Comics revived the classic Fawcett title for an eight-issue run from 1949 to 1951, bringing back the original Captain Marvel adventures under the steady scripting of Otto Binder. The series featured the distinctive artwork of Kurt Schaffenberger, with additional contributions from C. C. Beck, maintaining the bright, energetic style that defined the character’s golden age. Though short-lived, this iteration offered a final burst of classic Marvel Family stories before the character’s hiatus, making it a notable footnote for fans of the era’s all-ages superheroics.
