Marvel sales increasing dramatically since his debut in February 1940, Fawcett management figured a teenage version of the “Big Red Cheese” would only increase their profits. Herron liked Raboy’s art very much, and wanted a more illustrative style for the new addition, as opposed to the C. C. Beck or Pete Costanza simplified approach on Captain Marvel. The new boy-hero was ably dubbed Captain Marvel Jr., and it was Mac Raboy who was given the job of visualizing him for the very first time. Jr.’s basic attire was blue, with a red cape.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

For those of you who keep making the arguments about the problems writing a character like Superman, may I present to you Judd Winick and his inspiring, tragic story of Superman and Captain Marvel. Since then, Judd has illustrated over Idiot's Guides and still does the cartoons for the computer oriented Idiot's Guides line. The plot is nothing out of the extraordinary, but there are some heart touching moments. Think being 4 issues it gets rushed though a bit. I love Superman so much as a role model and the ending is just a show of that Superman's character that I love to see. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Unfortunately the dialogue is pretty bad and many moments are anti-climactic. This article needs additional citations for verification. Many years ago: Captain Marvel swoops down out of the sky and rescues a small single-engine airplane before it crashes down onto 10th street in Fawcett City. They act as an agent or broker and sell comic strips to newspapers. Three thousand miles away in the city of Metropolis, a group of thieves belonging to a cult known as the Temple of Bagdan, break into the Metropolis Museum of Natural History. The story recounts the first meeting between two DC superheroes, Superman and Shazam. This book seems aimed at younger readers, but that's not a bad thing.

  • SHAZAM/Captain Marvel
    SHAZAM/Captain Marvel Shazam/Captain Marvel is just a regular guy, but when he says “SHAZAM” he activates his powers. When he was a young boy named Billy Batson walked into a cave with the statues of Greek gods a wizard in the cave ulters SHAZMA and gives him all the powers. His costume contains gold boots, red jumpsuit with gold lightning bolt, gold and white cape, and gold rim on the cape. The history about the costumes of the DC Comics comic books is that to save money they only used blue, yellow, red, and black. Then they got money and started using a wide variety of colors. Like most superheroes he doesn’t have a huge weakness, but one of weaknesses is if his enemy tricks him into saying SHAZAM, he turns back to normal and they have a chance of beating him. Captain Marvel’s enemy is Black Adam. His costume is the same as Captain Marvel, but the red is black and the cape is black and gold. Black Adam reminds me of something related to science because of Black as in Black matter and Adam as in atoms. His superpowers include speed, flight, power wisdom, and invulnerability. These powers are useful for combat with anyone. They also help with Mary Marvel and Marvel Jr. My opinion of Captain Marvel is that he is a goofy superhero, but can fight crime when needed too. My dad told me about Captain Marvel and he said that he was interesting, but not the comic for him. .
