BLACK ADAM RETURNS Part 1

Though Black Adam died at the end of his lone Golden Age appearance as shown HERE...
...as they say on Monty Python's Flying Circus; "He got better!"
Note: this story was created during the run of the 1970s SHAZAM! TV series, and the comic adapted elements of the show, inserting Billy Batson's already-existing Uncle Dudley into the safari-jacketed and mustachioed Mentor role, and utilizing the "Eterni-phone" (which usually connected directly to the gods whose initials made up "Shazam") to contact the old wizard!
To be concluded
TOMORROW!
Writer (and associate editor) E Nelson Bridwell was a serious "continuity cop" as this explanation of how the Egyptian gods (with a bit of logic-stretching) filled out the "SHAZAM" anagram shows!
Plus, artist Kurt Schaffenberger hard worked on the original Fawcett run of the "Marvel Family" when he entered the comics business back in the 1950s!
But this story from DC's SHAZAM! #28 (1976) shows him at his artistic peak two decades later!
