is an all-ages comic book series published by DC Comics as a part of its Johnny DC imprint. The series debuted in September 2008, and is written and drawn by Mike Kunkel. In style and tone, is a followup to Jeff Smith's 2007 miniseries , as both draw upon the light, whimsical feel of the Captain Marvel comics of the Golden Age for inspiration. In Magic of Shazam!, Billy Batson is a young boy who must juggle his superheroic life as Captain Marvel with looking after his rambunctious little sister Mary Marvel. Unlike Billy, who transforms into an adult when he speaks the magic word "Shazam", Mary possesses only a fraction of his power and remains a child in her superhero form. Other Marvel Family characters are similarly re-imagined, such as Black Adam who is presented as bratty exchange student Theo Adam, a classmate of Billy. --
