*DC: Issue #28 of Shazam from 1977 featured the return of one of Captain Marvel’s most powerful nemeses, Black Adam, who gained his mighty powers from the same source as the Captain himself. Having only appeared previously in the Golden Age Marvel Family #1 (1945), this modern-day debut was the second-ever appearance of Teth-Adam and his super-powered alter ego. This is a decent pence-stamped copy getting towards mid-grade, flat and unmarked, with tight and firmly attached staples. Some corner blunting and a little edge wear, but nothing serious. Nice pages; perhaps just a little bit tired, keeping the grade down.
