NotesFlash/Thrill Comics #1 - Ashcan Recreation-1939 Recreation. A meticulous recreation of the famous ashcan comics which introduced Captain Marvel as Captain Thunder. Original covers from Heritage have been used with Photoshop techniques to accurately reconstruct the never before reprinted inside front covers. Scans of Whiz Comics #2 and the aforementioned cover scans have been utilized and compared with the 1992 reprint of the Captain Thunder story to, as accurately as possible, reconstruct the content and placement of the original text. Also included are an original 4 page introduction and the probable contents of the ultra-rare Golden Arrow variant to Flash Comics #1.

Just SO excellent! Thank you very much!

Okay, we know where Fawcett missed the boat on trademarking FLASH COMICS and THRILL COMICS, but whose trademark caused Fawcett to change Bill Parker's originally intended name, "Captain Thunder", to Captain MARVEL, and why weren't they concerned about any possible trademark issues with Timely's MARVEL (Mystery) COMICS? Seems to me that if Fawcett had just stuck with the original Parker idea of Captain Thunder, it would have caused DC a lot less headaches with the character that they now call "Shazam". Of course, that doesn't have anything to do with Fawcett, but maybe DC should have gone back to the original Captain Thunder name in 1972, since it should have been obvious that Marvel would *never* relinquish the trademark on "Captain Marvel" once they'd secured it. But DC jumped the gun and used "Captain Thunder" for a pseudo-CM battle with Superman Of course there'd have been some grousing from nostalgic fans of the original CM -- but it's a lot worse changing his name NOW, after another 45 years have passed.

I believe it was Johnny Thunder who squashed the Captain Thunder TM.

It was most likely Fiction House, who debuted "Captain Thunder and the Congo Lancers" in Jungle Comics #1. Details are in my introduction. -Eric
