Item Solicitation

What happens when Billy Batson complains to the wizard Shazam that he’s been cheated out of the right to grow up? Why “A Switch in Time”, of course. Script by Denny O’Neil, art by C.C. Beck. Then comes the story of the world’s greatest inventor, who calls a press conference to announce that he’s invented the world’s greatest invention -- but he won’t tell anyone what it is! “The Wizard of Phonograph Hill” is by Elliot Maggin and C.C. Beck. The cover story is a reprint of The Marvel Family in “The Witches’ Tale” from #4 of their magazine (April, 1946).
