Capt. Marvel and the Ghost of the Deep
Fawcett Comics
One of the most successful comic book publisher in the 1940’s, Fawcett Publications
began in 1919 with the magazine, Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang. Its total
circulation from all of its publications eventually reached over 10 million issues
a month.
Fawcett is best known for its popular superhero, Captain Marvel, based on the
adventures of radio reporter Billy Batson who would turn into Captain Marvel
upon uttering the word Shazam!. Other successful characters include
Ibis the Invincible, Hopalong Cassidy, and Mister Scarlet. Fawcett was also known
for its series of horror comics including Beware! Terror Tales,
Worlds of Fear, and Strange Suspense Stories. The
company branched out into humor comic magazines with Otis and Babs
and Hoppy the Marvel Bunny among its most popular titles.
Facing declining sales, Fawcett Comics ceased publication of its superhero
titles in 1953. Several of its titles were eventually sold to Charlton
Comics.

Capt. Marvel and the Ghost of the Deep
Captain Marvel
In response to the popularity of Superman and Batman, Fawcett Comics introduced
Captain Thunder in the 1939 issue of
Flash Comics #1
. The issue
was an ashcan copy, a term for low-print runs whose purpose was not sales
but to establish a trademark claim for legal purposes. Due to trademark infringements
with another established character, Captain Thunder became Captain Marvelous and later
Captain Marvel. Flash Comics became Whiz Comics (also due to trademark issues.)
Captain Marvel’s alter ego was a 12-year old radio reporter named Billy Batson, a
copy of Superman’s alter ego, reporter Clark Kent, but younger to appeal to adolescent
readers. Billy Batson’s name was partially based on the nickname given to Fawcett Publication’s
founder Wilford Fawcett — “Captain Billy”.

Capt. Marvel and the Ghost of the Deep
Marvel’s Adversaries
Captain Marvel’s arch enemy was the mad scientist
Doctor Sivana
,
who regularly plotted elaborate schemes to rule the world and defeat both
Captain Marvel and America.
Sivana had four children who also had prominent roles in Captain Marvel’s adventures.
Two evil children, Georgia and Sivana, Jr., resembled their father both physically
and in their desire to conquer the Earth. Sivana’s daughter Beautia however, loved
Captain Marvel and Sivana’s son, Magnificus, was also a sometime-ally of the
Captain.
Marvel’s other adversaries included
Captain Nazi
and a nuclear-powered
robot named
Mister Atom
. Matching Captain Marvel’s adopted power from
ancient heroes was
Ibac
, an evil magician who gained his power from
the ancient villians Ivan the Terrible, Cesare Borgia,
Attila the Hun, and Caligula.
One of the more popular serials in the Fawcett Comics run of Captain Marvel adventures
was the
Monster Society of Evil
story arc which involved several
of Marvel’s adversaries from previous issues, including Doctor Sivana, Captain Nazi,
and Ibac. The society was led by the cunning
Mister Mind
, a character who was
eventually revealed to be a highly intelligent worm from another planet.

Capt. Marvel and the Ghost of the Deep
Marvel and the Nazis
The drama of World War II also played itself out in the adventures of the golden-era
comic books. Many of Captain Marvel’s adventures were based on thwarting nefarious
plots hatched by Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. The most prominent of Captain
Marvel’s opponents in this regard was certainly
Captain Nazi
.
Captain Nazi was a genetically altered “super soldier” given superhuman strength,
stamina, and the ability to fly. Acting as a Adolph Hitler’s champion, Captain
Nazi was sent personally by the fuhrer to do battle with America’s superheroes
including both Captain Marvel and
Bulletman
. He made in last
appearance in a Fawcett comic book in 1944 but was later revised his role in
several DC Comics reboots of the Captain Marvel franchise.
The
Monster Society of Evil
was home to several infamous characters
from the Second World War. Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Tojo.
were charters members, along with other prominent Nazis and war criminals.
One of the schemes hatched by the society involved using
Captain Nazi to steal magic fortune-telling pearls from an Egyptian princess.
Another plot saw the society attempting to use a giant cannon to blow holes in
various countries across the world. In all of these schemes, Captain Marvel was
always there to save the day for the freedom-loving countries of the world.
