description: A treasure of vintage tales, THE SHAZAM ARCHIVES VOL. 4 reprints the earliest adventures of the World's Mightiest Mortal as they were originally published in the 1940's. Stumbling upon an ancient wizard in an abandoned subway system, adolescent Billy Batson soon found his whole life changed. Now when the young orphan utters the word "Shazam," he is instantaneously transformed into the adult super-hero. Captain Marvel. In this beautiful volume, the legendary hero uses the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury to protect his city from deadly threats and nefarious super-villains.
