Colored for the artist’s birthday by Walt Grogan!

A 10-year-old Walt Grogan fell in love with the Big Red Cheese thanks to essays written by Dick Lupoff and Don Thompson in the paperback edition of All in Color for a Dime, released in 1970 and bought for him by his father off a paperback spinner rack in a liquor store on the South Side of Chicago. Walt runs The Marvel Family Web Facebook page devoted to all incarnations of the Fawcett/DC Captain Marvel and blogs about Captain Marvel at shazamshistorama.com.

Wonderous indeed! Just love it. Beautiful!
From another Earth 2 Robin fan–a superhero who never got his full due.
Thanks, Walt! Thanks, Dan!
