Apparently the first time regular Captain Marvel artist C. C. Beck is credited with writing as well as drawing the story, and he does an outstanding job. This is the first Captain Marvel story that has no real villain in it, and yet it's still entertaining. Whitey and Dr. Malcolm transfer from the famous 1941 Captain Marvel serial to the comics this story, despite the fact that Malcolm was killed off at the end of the serial. It's explained that Billy met them while working on "the Captain Marvel movie". Whitey already seems to know that Billy Batson is Captain Marvel. Another thing that makes this story a standout is the remarkably enlightened attitude for its time when Billy, Whitey, and Malcolm decided not to exploit the jungle natives. There's even a sweet little interracial romance between Whitey and a Mayan girl.
