Capt. Marvel, Jr. - the world’s mightiest boy!

I know this is probable a weird thing to ask you, but you seem to know more about older Fawcett, so I’m crossing my fingers😆. Which Fawcett heroes have comics? And if these ones do, do Fawcett heroes make cameos in each other’s comics? For example, if Billy was in a Bullet Man and Bullet Girl comic, or if Minute Man was in a Mr Scarlet comic.

Okay, I am by no means an expert, but hopefully I can help!

So back in the day Fawcett comics had a ton of different comics under its umbrella. The most famous is obviously the Captain Marvel stories which was first published in Whiz Comics #2. Whiz comics also included stories featuring other heroes such as Ibis the Invincible, Spy Smasher, and Golden Arrow.

Lots of heroes also had shorter solo runs including Bulletman, Ibis the Invincible, Minute Man and Spy Smasher. (Also Captain Marvel Jr and Mary Marvel had their own solos!) Typically the comic titles are just the hero's name so they shouldn't be too hard to search. For the most part those don't include many crossovers (except for the Mary and Jr ones).

Wow Comics features Mary Marvel as the main protagonist for many issues but also includes stories of Mr. Scarlet, Commando Yank, and Phantom Eagle (often crossing over with Mary's adventures).

Master Comics also includes stories of Bullet Man, Minute Man, and Captain Marvel Jr (often crossing over together).

More Marvel family focused comic runs included cameos and team ups with other heroes, though typically only for one or two issues at a time. Some popular long running titles are: Captain Marvel Adventures, Captain Marvel Jr, The Marvel Family, and Mary Marvel.

There was also a fun bit of advertising in the Marvel comics just before Mary made the jump to her own adventures in Wow Comics where Pinky Butler was writing her letters encouraging her to join him and Mr. Scarlet in Wow comics. Despite mostly being for advertising purposes it set up a fun friendship between the two!

I can't seem to find the issue I'm looking for where Billy as a reporter for WHIZ is hosting a formal event showcasing a bunch of the other Fawcett heroes, which I think you'd enjoy. It was really sweet and if anyone has the panels on hand I feel free to add them!

Hope this helps! Finding good quality scans of some of these older comics can be hard but they are out there!
