Honours – Captain Marvel<\/b>: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Not only does Billy Batson win the award for Outstanding Radio Work of the Year, but he has his ver own fan club! (Whiz Comics 015, 1941) <\/p>\n

Please also note the horrible off-brand Mickey Mouse costume worn by Billy’s assistant Whitey Murphy. (Whiz Comics 023, 1941)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
