The Captain Action comic, based on the classic action figure, has been out of print for more than fifty years. Written by Jim Shooter and Gil Kane and drawn by Kane and Wally Wood-a legendary roster of talent if there ever was one-containing the origin of Captain Action and Action Boy, and featuring their arch-nemesis, the diabolical Doctor Evil! All five original issues are collected in this volume and have been meticulously scanned from crisp first-generation stats, and painstakingly recolored (using the original comics as guides), beautifully representing a long-lost treasure!

Captain Action is archaeologist Clive Arno. He discovers some magic coins that were left on Earth by some aliens who came to our planet and were the basis of the gods of ancient mythology. As long as he holds some of the coins somewhere on his person, he can switch between the grab bag of powers they grant (super strength, super senses, weather manipulation, super speed, combat skills, etc. -- alas, there was no "I know kung fu" coin). He immediately creates an undercover headquarters outfitted with a fancy car and laboratory and becomes a superhero. He gives one coin to his son so he can be his sidekick, Action Boy. He fights evil villains while yelling, "Let justice be done!"
So let's see, we've got some Batman, Superman, Hawkman, Shazam/Captain Marvel, Dial-H-for-Hero, and Ultra Boy all lumped together with a sticky gruel of pure dumbness.
A perfect example of the sort of superhero dreck we used to accept as normal back in the day.
