Synopsis
  • The mad scientist Sivana raises a supremely powerful army, with thousands of super soldiers and hundreds of streamlined tanks and artillery that can shoot 75 miles and 120 mph combat cars and the mightiest air fleet in history, and declares war on the United States, and attacks Washington DC. Captain Marvel smashes a whole lot of tanks, then routs the invading infantry, then changes to Billy and sneaks into the enemy's camp, and observes the enemy general receive orders to report to Sivana. Captain Marvel wing-surfs to Sivana's hidden fortress atop the general's airplane. He sneaks into the castle and beats up some guards, but is overcome by deadly gas, and wrapped in heavy chains. Sivana has an atom smasher about as big as a barn, set to go off in five minutes, with which to blow up C.M., but Sivana's routed troops show up at the fortress, just then, to confront Sivana and blame him for their defeat. Captain Marvel bursts his chains and leaps out of a window, but Sivana and a large number of the troops are still inside the fortress when it gets blown up. Billy Batson announces Sivana's death on the radio, prematurely, as it turns out.
  • Continued from last issue: In the still-unnamed city in Europe, Ibis the Invincible pursues the thief, who uses the stolen Ibisstick to create a stone wall and other barriers in his path, and who gets away. Meanwhile back in the museum, Taia is suffocating in her airtight glass display case. The thief has hidden in a building in the poor part of town, possibly his home, and is conjuring gold coins. Ibis finds him and almost tackles him; the thief counters by commanding the stick to turn Ibis into gold, which fatally backfires on him, because Ibis can't be harmed by the stick's power. Leaving the thief's neighbors to scoop up the gold, Ibis races back to the museum and dissolves the glass in time to save Taia. Ibis recreates the ancient city of Thebes, deep in the Sahara. It's a bad neighborhood; a local outlaw Arab chief named Hamed makes the fatal mistake of kidnapping Taia, and trying to trade her for the Ibisstick. Ibis soon finds Hamed's fortified camp, turns his cut-throat bodyguards into geese, turns Hamed into a pig.
