To further put it in some historical context, the late, great comic book convention promoter Phil Seuling told me years ago that in the early to mid 1940s, the Fawcett Captain Marvel collection of titles (Whiz, Captain Marvel Adventures, Captain Marvel Jr., Mary Marvel, and Marvel Family) regularly had a monthly paid circulation of over 8 million copies a month.
5 comic tiles, 8 million copies sold, per month.
Shazam!
“Shazam!”, indeed...those were good comics....
