The Marvel Family (1945) #1
#this is interesting to me in contrast with what Jerry Ordway later did in his Post-Crisis reboot of the Marvel Family#where the Wizard Shazam met Billy’s father C.C. as a child and then tried to make him his champion when C.C. had grown up#and it’s unclear if that was only because of the extenuating circumstances#or if he would have waited until C.C. was an adult to make him his champion anyway#but since C.C. and Marilyn Batson first died in a way that the Wizard couldn’t prevent#he ended up making Billy and then later Mary his champions when they were still young#so I think that Billy is worthy had to do there more with his family and the morals he was raised with#rather than anything specific to do with his age#whereas here the Wizard considers Billy a good candidate for the powers partially because of his age#fawcett comics#billy batson#shazam#my posts#comic panels
