BLACK ADAM "Who He WAS, and How He Came to Be..." Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Black Adam, the first person the old wizard Shazam granted powers to, has returned after 5,000 years to continue his attempt to conquer the Earth!
But a duo of new Shazam-created champions, Captain Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr, stand in his way.
But all three combatants discover their magical powers are equal, and neither side can gain an advantage!
As Black Adam retreats to rethink his strategy against these new enemies, the Marvels head to the Rock of Eternity to consult Shazam as to how to defeat a foe exactly like themselves...
This tale, written by Otto Binder, penciled by C C Beck, and inked by Pete Costanza from Fawcett's Marvel Family #1 (1945), was Black Adam's sole Golden Age appearance!
(Amazing, considering how often villains considered deceased managed to reappear in comics!)
After Shazam and his champions were revived by DC in the Bronze Age, Black Adam was left in literary limbo...
...until he was literally resurrected!
