HI! Matthew again.
If you have ever been as confused about the Captain Marvel/ Shazam thing as I have, Wikipedia is here to help us.
The reason I mention it is because we just got Volume 1 of Marvel Essential: Captain Marvel in the library today! It features the work of Gil Kane and Roy Thomas primarily. Neither stand up to Jack Kirby, but really who ever did.
I am not sure if it's aesthetics, or silliness, or nostalgia, or all of the above, but I have been crazy about these Kirby/Lee/60's era comics. The drawings are really great! Compositions are crazy Baroque! Better that Bernini! Well, okay, maybe not better than Bernini...got carried away.
