S.H.A.Z.A.M. (secrets revealed?)

I have happily participated in a weekly comic-book-loving challenge for  OZCOMICS through the Faceboook' The reeent challenge was "SHAZAM"

"SHAZAM" was the magic word a kid named Billy Batson was granted o turn into a big magic adult sized genie-type superhero called Captain Marvel. Or was ...since 1938...until recent...

Due to legal bullshits  he isn't Captain Marvel any more....It's been a bullshitz for years but let's move on...

"SHAZAM" is an acronyom for...


SOLOMON: WISDOM
HERCULES: STRENGTH
ATLAS:  STAMINA
ZEUS: POWER
ACHILLES: COURAGE
MERCURY: SPEED

I believe Jim Nabors said it best, as Gomer Pyle: sounded kinda like “SHA-ZAY-UM”...

 Anyways.... here is a rough sketch for anyone who might be iterested ...



I initially included a rude version of Billy Batson...   


Replaced rude-nes of Billy Batsoon with rude selfish signature self-ness...





Here is a nice piece of reference (souce to yoink colours from)  art by C.C.Beck!

Once upon a time there was a band called KRUNKY....

The band-thing started for me around 1995....

It's about time I reflected all over it...
