World’s Mightiest Mortal – The Scorpion’s Return

Description

Sequels are not unusual for comic characters, and villains often return Ð but this book is unusual in that it is the sequel of a movie serial! In 1941 Republic Pictures released a 12-Chapter serial THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL, featuring the now-famous hero who has really only been out for about a year in the comics. The serial was a success, so it was followed later that year with this book, Fawcett’s version of the Big Little Book, called a Dime Action Book. Billy Batson and his friends return, along with the dastardly Scorpion, and only The World’s Mightiest Mortal can prevent disaster! New generations can now read this great story, written by Otto Binder (his first of what would be a massive number of stories for this iconic character), in our great BIG LITTLE MEMORY format Ð easier to read, cheaper to own!
