That's Shazam, though.

>>93516646
The Power of Shazam by Jerry Ordway

The 1994 Graphic Novel that is, 96 pages only but pretty much the foundation of the modern cap

>>93516646
Are you actually asking about Billy? Your post makes it ambiguous. If so,
>Thunderworld
>Johns' stuff
>Curse of Shazam
>Kingdom Come
off the top of my head

I've heard all the Fawcett stuff still holds up.

No, his old comics even call him Captain Marvel, but why are you posting Johnny Storm?

>>93516646
The Golden Age Captain Marvel stories (there is some racist shit in them, but other than that they're pretty goddamn good comics)
The Power of Shazam by Jerry Ordway
Crisis Times Five! (JLA arc)
Shazam! The Power of Hope
Superman/Shazam: First Thunder
Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil
Thunderworld
Convergence: Shazam!

There's also Curse of Shazam if you want something a little different.

>>93516742
But Billy is a non-character until the end in Kingdom Come, the fuck are you talking about? And how is "Johns' stuff" different from Curse of Shazam?

Oh man the things i'd give to have an Earth-5 Marvel Family book

>>93516883
Same here.

>>93516646

So, there's a must read around here, but till then...

>POS GN, 1-47, Annual by Jerry Ordway

>Monster society of evil 1-4

>Convergence Shazam by Parker

>Shazam GN by Dini and Ross

>Multiversity Thunderworld

>>93516742
Are you fucking kidding me with that shit?

Johns

>>93516883
>>93516903

Honestly, Waid and Simone were supposed to be apart of it so fuck that noise. I'd rather have had Ross and Krueger's series. Or the one Darwyn Cooke proposed.

>>93516646
>inb4 le snarky epic quips about C*rol Danvers.
Don't worry. He's still the second manliest Captain Marvel out there.

>>93516797
Nah, she's still manlier than Johnny is. Probably has a bigger penis too.

>>93516702
>>93516742
This

But I may warn you, I hated how Curse of Shazam started off, once Billy gets his powers the story drastically improves.

>>93516742
Monster Society of Evil (the Jeff Smith mini) and First Thunder are better Cap stories than most of those though.
And Kingdom Come only works once you've read some other stories first.

Has Simone ever even written the Big Red Cheese? Why the contempt?

>first, Fawcett Comics gets fucked over by a Proto-DC because Captain Marvel was 'too similar' to Superman and even got better sales than Supes for a little while
>then DC acquires the rights to him and his "universe" some 20 odd years later, and subsequently does fuck-all with this new IP because that would risk wasting any opprotunity to reinforce Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman's brand recognition for the umpteenth time well at least he did get his own show at one point, but it's no surprise if neither you nor anyone else remembers that shit
>and then later, Marvel comes out of the woodwork and takes the trademark for the name "Captain Marvel" so they can push some token female hero nobody knows or cares about because they don't have any better female icons to utilize
Has any other capeshit character been legally fucked over harder? In a fairer universe, he'd have been the definitive/mainstream "Golden Age" hero.

What the fuck? They mispelled it. Not to mention why is he white and doesn't look a thing like Shaq?

>>93516831
>>93516903
Rastus Brown ends up being hilarious precisely because of how racist it is. I don't know why you would warn someone "Hey, this stuff is super problematic so be careful" when it's so far over the top.
If we bitched about stereotypes in Golden Age comics we'd be here all day.

>>93516702
I second this. If you want a good, modern origin story like Year One was for Batman, this is your best choice. It incorporates the whimsy of the original comics while still telling a good, character-driven story. Curse of Shazam, while it's a decent comic, it's closer to a movie pitch and doesn't really feel like Captain Marvel.

>>93518166
>well at least he did get his own show at one point, but it's no surprise if neither you nor anyone else remembers that shit
Hey, I was born in '69 so I do remember that show. There's nothing creepier than a teenage boy traveling around the country in a RV with an old guy they aren't related to.

Best first reply I could have hoped for.

>>93516742

Add to this:

Justice - illustrated by Alex Ross; more of a JL story, but Captain gets a decent role there, instead of a played out excuse to fight Superman as usual like in Kingdom Come.

The "Shazam" Convergence issues also featuring steampunk Batman

>>93516883

Give it to Parker and Shane, and DC can expect regular income from me.

Well gee anon, I don't know, maybe OP is black and wouldn't find it funny? What's wrong with a little courtesy, just in case? Sheesh.
