Picked up Jeff Smith's CM: Monster Society of Evil. I'm in for a thing.

Prefer the actual original almost 2 year story arc which began running in Captain Marvel Adventures #22







Which was finaly going to get a new edition, sadly canceled, well; because not PC.

Although mostly known and shared elsewhere, there is a few other vids out there, this was exceptionally thorough, and really emphasizes how much Fawcett's Captain Marvel/SHAZAM! was really the leader and innovator in many aspects.
Thanks for sharing, I look forward to his part II.

The Family promo art reminds me a lot of the anime-esque Shazam fanart.

The Comics History Of Captain Marvel Part 2

I've recently been helping with annotating the latest volume of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the story involves Mick Anglo's Captain Marvel substitues in a reasonable capacity. I had *zero* idea there were just so many British ripoffs. It's a fascinatingly common archetype.

Yeah, what happened was that Captain Marvel had a UK reprint. When DC sued Fawcett out of the comics biz, the UK publisher ended up running out of material. So they created an expy, Marvelman. That character, later renamed Miracleman, was creator owned originally, but was subsequently sold to Marvel.

Anglo later had to create expies of his own expie, like Miracle Man (Seperate from the later name for Marvelman) and Captain Miracle. Both are in the thumbnail to that video. Plus, there were other non-Anglo ripoffs like Thunderbolt Jaxon, Ace Heart and Mr. Apollo.
