Over the years, he has been known by many names but today he is simply known as.... SHAZAM! From his first appearance in Whiz Comics #2… to his battles with Superman (in both the comic book panels and the courtroom)… to a rebirth as one of DC’s premier heroes… to his blockbuster movie in 2019, this documentary brings together the original artists, comic book luminaries, and big screen stars to show how Shazam has brought his childlike spirit, his powerful magic, and his inherent goodness – not to mention his powerful family members - to capture the imaginations of audiences and become a pop culture icon.

I have recently been clearing out my parents' attic and I found my old Shazam comics that I put there for safekeeping in around 1977 (including the issue at 32:02). I remember reading them over and over and am glad I can now read them again for the first time in 45 years.

The Shazam/Superman rivalry back in the day was crazy. He almost resembled Superman in someway. I think the later incarnations with the introduction of Tawky Tawny really got me interested in the Captain Marvel mythology. Then the children of Shazam shows the universe was expanding for Captain Marvel. To me the 23 minute short with Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black I always hear Arnold Vosloo's voice when I read Black Adam comics.

Fun fact. Instead of the Shazam acronym being: Solomon: Wisdom Hercules: Strength Atlas: Stamina Zeus: Power Achilles: Bravery Mercury: Speed It was originally going to be: Solomon: Wisdom Hercules: strength Atlas: Stamina Zeus: Lightning Achilles: Bravery Mercury:Speed But they wanted him to have the ability to fly and be super durable so they replaced the lightning of Zeus with the power of Zeus which is mostly the lightning but also Durability and Flight.
