Captain Marvel is seriously the coolest concept for a thing ever, and for a while he was the most popular character in comics. Now, not so much. On top of that, CC Beck was an amazing cartoon-action artist. (What the hell kind of lion/gorilla is Captain Marvel fighting on that cover?!) I wish more of this early stuff was available. There is a phonebook size SHOWCASE reprint from DC, but it's all the 70's reboot stuff, really stiff and boring. I will keep my eyes open for some torn up, cheap 50's Cap comics at the upcoming Emerald City Comicon. I got all these covers from The Grand Comic Book Database which has almost every cover from almost every comic almost ever. This is my first thought on a sunny Seattle Sunday morning.
