As mentioned in the video, this reading project has both a long term and a short term phase. In the long term, I plan to continually gradually reading Captain Marvel comics indefinitely (interspersed with my other comic book reading projects). In the short term, however, I have a specific stack of books on my shelves that I got from the library that I mean to finish off in the next few weeks. This blog post will serve as my started post for that specific stack.

The Shazam Archives Volume 1,

Superman / Shazam: First Thunder,
Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil,

The Power of Shazam: Book One: In the Beginning,

The Power of Shazam: Book Two: The Worm Turns,

The Trials of Shazam: The Complete Series

And also, on order from the library but not yet arrived,

Shazam! : a Celebration of 75 Years,

Shazam! : the New Beginning,

Shazam! Power of Hope
