In the 45th part of this ongoing series that focuses on the History of Comic Books, producer Derek Crabbe views comics history through the lens of those comic book characters that are lucky enough to be adapted for both movies and television.

If you enjoy the musings of James Rolfe or Lewis Lovhaug you'll probably enjoy this vast project which continues with the Filmation produced live-action television series, Shazam! that aired on CBS from 1974 to 1977 !

I'm still for the Rock as Black Adam. What was better about this version is that they had Billy as a teenager as opposed to a pubescent snot nose.

I loved the show! Watched every Saturday morning. If anything DC/Warner Bros. should be pushing this character instead of Superman.

I loved the tv show, but always thought of Shazam as the poor man's Superman. Now a movie about Captain Marvel the Kree Warrior would be awesome!
