In 1973, DC brought back one of the most beloved superheroes of all time: Shazam! Fans rejoiced at the return of Billy Batson; his sister, Mary; and their friend Freddy Freeman as they embarked on new adventures that evoked their original fun-filled comic book escapades. Together, the Shazam family took on a variety of vexing villains such as the contemptible Captain Nazi, the dastardly Dr. Sivana, and the maniacal Mr. Mind—and often learned a lesson or two in the process! Join the Big Red Cheese and company for more nonstop family fun in this continuation of tales spanning the late ’70s to the early ’80s from legendary comics writer E. NELSON BRIDWELL, featuring art by DON NEWTON, KURT SCHAFFENBERGER, and more! This third volume collects stories from World’s Finest Comics #253-270 and 272-282, and Adventure Comics #491-492.
A new world for the jungle lord! A hunt for his four-legged friend Zabu takes Ka-Zar beyond the Savage Land…into the ancient paradise of Pangea! From shining citadels to the lofty heights of the Aerie, it’s a land filled with newfound friends — and fresh dangers! Caught between bird-people and pterons, will Kevin Plunder meet his end, or find new love? Either way, things will soon get complicated between Ka-Zar and Shanna the She-Devil. But Shanna isn’t short of other suitors herself, including…Spider-Man?! And abandon all hope when Ka-Zar faces a twisted version of Dante’s Inferno! This fresh hell comes complete with a minotaur, Cerberus — and the demonic Belasco! Plus: alien nightmares, a jungle wedding, and tiger tales of Zabu in this complete collection of a series that, like the Savage Land, is a hidden gem!
