C.C. Beck cvr/art; 2 page Cap Marvel pin-up
Ruben Blades CopyThanks to the overwhelmingly positive response and success of the DCEU’s “Shazam!” the Big Red Cheese’s star is once again on the rise in the ever-shifting world of comic book fandom. DC’s Captain Marvel was once the biggest selling book in the business, moving more copies than Superman, which led to a copyright lawsuit that DC won against Cap’s publisher Fawcett, and eventually handed the rights to the character over to Superman’s imprint. This is all ancient history to modern-day Captain Marvel fans, who are likely looking at the amazing C.C. Beck cover to Captain Marvel Adventures #13 in awe. This cover is truly a cut above what was the norm for the Golden Age, a triumph of light and shadow that shows the titular hero knocking the block off of a living statue. This is a popular cover from the era, showcasing one of the most beloved characters of the industry’s halcyon days.
