Perhaps no classic comic-book character embodies the spirit of youth and optimism as thoroughly as Captain Marvel--the wish fulfillment of every child who ever dreamed of having super powers and taking flight. In a personal story told from the hero''s point of view, both young Billy Batson and his alter ego, Captain Marvel, devote themselves to keeping hope alive by granting the requests of a local hospital''s children--in a sense, making their wishes come true. Powerfully written by Dini, with staggering painted art by Ross that combines traditional comic-book storytelling and the illustrated-text format of storybooks, SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE finds our hero taking a direct hand upon meeting a boy who has been injured by domestic violence. Deeply affected by the encounter, our story shows just how human the World''s Mightiest Mortal truly is.
