Captain Marvel, Jr. #115

Captain Marvel, Jr. #115 was published in December 1952 by Fawcett Comics, appearing toward the end of the original run of the character's solo title. By this time, the Golden Age of comic books was waning and the character's popularity had faced significant pressure from both shifting reader tastes and persistent legal challenges from National Comics Publications, which argued that Captain Marvel was an infringement on Superman's copyright.

The character, originally created by Ed Herron and Mac Raboy, was defined by his teenage identity as Freddy Freeman and his distinctively somber, blue-costumed aesthetic. The visual style of this period, characterized by the house style of Fawcett's art department, relied on clear, traditional action storytelling. While this issue remains a part of the series' extensive catalog, it reflects the final stages of Fawcett's struggle to maintain its superhero line before the company ceased publishing comic books entirely in 1953.
