MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XXII: Mr Mind Loses His Mind"

When Last We Left Our Hero...

... note that the contents page lists this chapter of Monster Society of Evil as "Mr Mind Goes Straight", even though both the cover and story have a different title!

Let's rejoin Billy Batson as he faces the most mundane foe he'll ever encounter...

C'mon, you really didn't think that change of heart...er, mind...was going to last, did you?

This was the last chapter of Monster Society of Evil to get a cover appearance. 

Considering how much time and effort was put into it, I'm surprised the editors didn't give the serial more promo on the covers!

Note, we have the secret code...

...from the back of the Captain Marvel Club Membership Card (shown here)!

And, no, we're not going to translate it for you!

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XX: Mr Mind's Book"

When Last We Left Our Hero...

...ah, the days when people actually read words on a page, rather than glance at a screen!

(I'll have more to say about this below...)

Of course, these days, all Mr Mind would have to do is post an e-book or pdf on the web with a link on a conspiracy site...

It's interesting to note the power print media once had.
Even comic strips had the ability to generate public controversy, as this (only slightly) exaggerated comic story demonstrates!

While I enjoy posting long-lost material like this for an audience that has never seen it before, I'd much rather be an actual print publisher to put this material back in the same format it was created for.
There's something visceral about holding a printed book or comic in your hand that electronic media can't duplicate.
But it is expensive.
Well, there's always PowerBall and Mega Millions...

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XIX: The Black Death Ray"

We Have Already Seen...

...actually, this was the cover for the previous issue of Fawcett's Captain Marvel Adventures (#39), but since it portrays that chapter's finale and and this chapter's opening, we thought it would be more appropriate here!

Lucky for you, we have the code...

...on the back of the Captain Marvel Club Membership Card (shown here)!

(And, no, we're not going to translate it for you!)

For once, the hero has information the villain doesn't, but his survival depends on his non-superpowered alter-ego's reflexes and timing...

MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL "Chapter XVIII: Peril Behind the Camera"

When Last We Left Our Hero...

Oh, woe!
Oh, despair!
Can it be true?
Is Billy Batson dead?
Read on...and have faith!

Writer Otto Binder and artists CC Beck & Pete Costanza are certainly getting into the spirit of 1940s movie serials, as the cover for this issue...

...demonstrates!
Note: Since the cover portrays the cliffhanger at the end of the chapter, we didn't run it at the head of the post!
But it will be at the head of tommorow's post when...
