| "Mary Marvel's Fashion Parade" from Shazam! #13 (DC, 1974) by E. Nelson Bridwell and various artists |
I'm really happy the fashion show doesn't take us to the dark and grimy oughts. The 70s series brought the Marvel Family into the DC Universe (albeit on Earth-S) and featuring art by Cap's creator C.C. Beck in the first 10 issues featured the light-hearted superhero style that had made Fawcett's books a big hit in the 40s (and more importantly, the tone of Shazam cartoon shows of my youth). Of course, in the 70s, the book must already gave seemed "all-ages" to DC readers. It did make it to issue 35 before getting relegated to a back-up in World's Finest.
