About This Item
E-167: Dc Comics. New. 1994. Hardcover. Hardcover. Royal 8vo. DC Comics Inc. 1994. Brand new, still sealed in the original shrinkwrap. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. I like the early Captain Marvel stories -- they're whimsical and exciting, and just fun. "The Power of Shazam!" pays loving homage to those stories, but makes the human emotions more believable. Jerry Ordway retells the beginnings of Captain Marvel in a fresh way, while still keeping true to the essence of the original. His Billy Batson is, realistically, freaked-out by being co-opted by this ancient wizard and turned into an "old" man -- a completely understandable reaction. It takes the length of the story for Billy to come to terms with his new dual identity, and that journey is very enjoyable and worthwhile. E-167; 10.4 X 6.8 X 0.4 inches .
