DESCRIPTION
white pages; minor amt ct and glue on cvr
2nd appearance of Captain Marvel; C.C. Beck cvr/art; 2nd issue (aka #3A)
Whiz Comics #3 is the second appearance of Captain Marvel, and really just the second issue of Whiz. There's also a quick comeback for the evil Dr. Sivana, making his own second appearance in "Sivana Strikes Again!" This timeless classic kept Captain Marvel thriving as Superman's biggest competition on the comic racks — much to the consternation of DC's lawyers. (This is also where Whiz made an adjustment to the numbering of the title's run; this Issue #3 from March 1940 was followed by a second Issue #3 with a cover date of April 1940. Today, they're commonly known as 3A and 3B.)
