Captain Marvel Jr. (1949 Story Listings)

The last year of the 1940s was filled with crime stories, science fiction yarns, whimsical fantasy, super villains and more of Sivana Jr. While the stories of the late 1940s did not have the page length of the early 1940 Cap Jr. tales they did have more variety in theme and plot.  Many of them were very well-written and crafted stories aimed at younger readers.

Captain Marvel Jr. (1946 Story Listings)

1946 was a year of transitions for the Blue Boy. First the publishing frequency increased after the wartime paper shortage eased up. Cap Jr. stories start showing up in the new Marvel Family title. Gone are the war related stories. Gone are Captain Nazi, Captain Nippon and the rest. Sivana Jr. first battle with Cap Jr. was in CMJ #36 after he had been introduced in a then recent issue of Captain Marvel Adventures. Another major villain was introduced in CMJ #41, the Acrobat. More crime stories, usually with a gimmick, appear along with fantasy and supernatural themes become more prominent. Bud Thompson takes over more of the art. August Froehlich and Gene MacDonald also contribute to the art chores.
