The first issue of "Whiz Comics" was numbered Issue #2, due to there being two black-and-white unreleased issues called "Flash Comics No. 1" and "Thrill Comics No. 1" to secure advertisers. It was released in February 1940 and featured the origin of "Captain Marvel," a Superman-like hero, who is still around today.When Billy Batson, a young boy, speaks the magic word "SHAZAM!" an acronym of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury, he transforms into an adult hero with the powers of superhuman strength, speed, flight, wisdom, courage, and other abilities. The most popular superhero of the 1940s, even outselling "Superman," Captain Marvel got his own series, and an entire franchise of other Marvel characters.The series ran until 1953, and eventually DC Comics acquired the rights to the characters. Starry Night Publishing is proud to bring you the original Golden Age comic book stories, featuring one of the top 50 greatest comic book heroes of all.

Genre: Children's stories
ISBN:

"Clara and her best friend, Bradley, are watching their favourite kids' game show, Smarty Pants. Suddenly, the room goes quiet (partly because Bradley's nanny shuts off the vacuum) while the host makes a big announcement: Smarty Pants is coming to Clara's town! And they're holding tryouts! Clara is confident that with her trivia know-how and her winning personality, not only will she earn a place on the show, she will win--with Bradley's help, of course. But when Bradley's mom's interfering boyfriend, Stuart, forces Bradley try out too, things get a lot more complicated. Add Clara's bully neighbour Shane into the mix, and the battle is on... and not everyone is playing fair. Will Clara be able to hold her own, even if Bradley's not by her side? Or will she lose sight of what's really important? Black and white line drawings throughout (meant to be Clara's hand-drawn comics). Second book in a three-book series, new in paperback."--
