Jerry Ordway's revamp , nearly complete.
Jeff Smith has just relaunched an all-new Shazam series. Thisis a perfect time to catch up and see w the character was reimagined. Includes Power of Shazam 1-39, plus the prestige graphic novel that started the Ordway series. "Ordway's graphic novel was a success, winning the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Original Graphic Album of 1994, and led to the publication of an ongoing Power of Shazam! series. The series, which began publication in March 1995 ,reintroduced many of the characters from the Marvel Family/Fawcett universe into current DCU continuity, including Mary Bromfield/ Mary Marvel , Freddy Freeman/ Captain Marvel, Jr. , Beautia Sivana, Mister Tawky Tawny, Bulletman , Minute-Man , Spy Smasher , Ibis and Taia , and even Hoppy the Marvel Bunny . Villains reincarnated in the series included Ibac , Mister Mind , Mister Atom , Aunt Minerva, and, borrowed from Superman , Blaze and Satanus , who were retconned as the wizard Shazam's illegitimate children. Mary Marvel was introduced as an adult instead of in her traditional teenage form, and insisted upon sharing the name of "Captain Marvel" with her brother. Captain Marvel, Jr., resenting being called "Junior" all of the time and needing a name he could say without calling down the magic lightning (his magic word being "Captain Marvel"), renamed himself "CM3". Jerry Ordway wrote all of the stories for the series and one annual, and provided painted covers in the style of the graphic novel as well. Peter Krause , Mike Manley , Dick Giordano , and Ordway himself served as the series' main artists. While the series received good reviews and featured guest artwork from comic book icons such as Curt Swan and Gil Kane , sales for the Golden-Age inspired series slowed as it went on, as darker, more intense comics had become more popular by the 1990s than the Marvel Family's more light-hearted adventures. The book was cancelled with issue number 47 in March 1999 (Issue #1,000,000 was published in November 1998 as part of the DC One Million event, giving the series a total of 48 issues published). One annual issue was published in 1996." From Wikipedia.Overall, the comics I am selling average F-VF, but if you have any questions, please ask me and I can send you a more detailed photo. I am a fellow collector and am happy to get these in the hands of fellow readers. I always charge exact shipping & listing costs. Nothing more. If you buy more than one item, I can ship them together to save you $$! (assuming they can all fit in one box)
