Reseña del editor
When Captain Marvel made his debut in Whiz Comics in 1940 he outsold the then two-year-old Superman by fourteen million copies a month. Known as the World's Mightiest Mortal, Captain Marvel was really Billy Batson a twelve-year-old boy who was transformed by saying "Shazam!" -tapping into the dreams of boy readers everywhere. In Shazam: The Golden Age of the World's Mightiest Mortal, Chip Kidd and Geoff Spear team up to deliver an amazing book that presents all of the Captain Marvel toys, ephemera, and artwork produced during comics' Golden Age. This unprecedented assortment of secret decoders, celluloid figures, Captain Marvel club badges, and letters is expertly photographed by Geoff Spear and written and designed by a true Captain Marvel fan, Chip Kidd. The actions figures, buttons, paper rockets, and collectable cards included in Shazam: The Golden Age of the World's Mightiest Mortal often sell for outrageous amounts on eBay or in comic book stores, and many of these rare piece have never been seen before. Kidd and Spear collaborated with the owner of the largest Captain Marvel collection to bring the reader the ultimate Captain Marvel book. While the comics have been collected and repackaged by DC Comics, there has never been a book about the related ephemera of this celebrated super hero, making this unique and beautiful book the first and definitive guide to this seminal super hero.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. American First. Shazam made his debut in Whiz Comics in 1940, and outsold his biggest competitor, Superman, by 14 million copies a month. It wasnt long before a variety of merchandise was licensed-secret decoders, figurines, buttons, paper rockets, tin toys, puzzles, costumes-and a fan club was created to keep up with the demand. These collectibles now sell for outrageous prices on eBay or in comic book stores and conventions. Seventy years later, an unprecedented assortment of these collectibles are gathered together by award-winning writer/designer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear. Join Kidd, Spear, and the Worlds Mightiest Mortal in this first, fully authorized celebration of ephemera, artwork, and rare, one-of-a-kind toys, and recapture the magic that was Shazam!Praise for Shazam!:"Superman has always gotten more press, but Captain Marvel may be the greatest expression of comics' optimism: A young boy says a magical word and turns into the World's Mightiest Mortal. Chip Kidd and Geoff Spear's gorgeous new book, Shazam! The Golden Age of the World's Mightiest Mortal (ABRAMS) pays tribute to the hero's bright colors and medium-spanning stories, all lovingly displayed in Kidd's signature style . . . It's a coffee-table book that provides a glimpse into a world where the powers of the gods are just an acronym away."-The Onion's A.V. Club"VERDICT: Despite the quite reasonable price, this features typical ABRAMS art and production quality. Fans will grab this Marvel-ous piece of Americana faster than you can say 'Shazam!'"-Mike Rogers, Library Journal Express"A handsome follow up to Bat-Manga!"--ComicsAlliance.com"This is a collector's dream: Page after page of Captain Marvel art, premiums, posters, toys, and ephemera from the biggest-selling superhero of all time . . . This book is a true time capsule and worthy of any comic fan's bookshelf."--USATODAY.com"Shazam! allows its rich imagery to tell the exciting story of this superhero. Between Kidd's glorious layout and Spear's highly detailed photography, the reader can feel the excitement and fabric that would eventually lead Captain Marvel to outsell Superman during the glorious Golden Age of comics!"--Comic Book Resources"Shazam! beautifully documents the creation and success of Fawcett's Captain Marvel franchise . . . Indeed, for non-Captain Marvel enthusiasts, the book may be most interesting as a compendium of historical documents, a glimpse not just of a bygone pop phenomenon but also of a larger cultural ethos."-Forward.com.
