The Marvel Family #34 — G/VG 3.0
April 1949 • Fawcett Publications • Golden Age superhero ensemble
A classic slice of late-’40s Fawcett charm featuring Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel Jr. headlining a bright, packed issue full of whimsy and menace. The main story, Sivana’s Miniature Menace, shrinks the mad scientist to toy-size and lets Otto Binder and Kurt Schaffenberger have fun with scale, gags, and vintage super-science. Classic Beck-era energy throughout, with a thick lineup of humor pages, Captain Marvel Jr. in rhyme, and Mary Marvel battling villainesses — pure Marvel Family madness the way it was meant to be.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (3.0 / G-VG)
Heavy spine stress with multiple visible creases and flattening. Edge wear along the top and bottom with small tears and fraying at corners. Cover shows noticeable surface wear and general soiling; colors still present well for grade. Back cover has moderate toning and handling wear. Interior pages are off-white, complete, and firmly attached. Solid low/mid grade copy with honest wear and strong Golden Age character appeal.
