Shazam made his debut in Whiz Comics in 1940, and outsold his
biggest competitor, Superman, by 14 million copies a month. It
wasn't long before a variety of merchandise was licensed-secret
decoders, figurines, buttons, paper rockets, tin toys, puzzles,
costumes-and a fan club was created to keep up with the demand.
These collectibles now sell for outrageous prices on eBay and in
comic book stores and conventions. Seventy years later, an
unprecedented assortment of these artifacts are gathered together
by award-winning writer/designer Chip Kidd and photographer Geo
Spear. Join Kidd, Spear, and the World's Mightiest Mortal in this
first, fully authorized celebration of ephemera, artwork, and rare,
one-of-a-kind toys, and recapture the magic that was Shazam!
