Fortunately for collectors, the Captain Marvel appearances in the first 24 issues of Whiz from 1940-41 are available in the first three Shazam Archives from DC Comics, including the Spy Smasher stories in #16-18.
Whiz dropped to 52 pages with #52 (March 1944), and soon fell to 36 pages for many issues, although 52-page issues frequently appeared as late as #134 (June 1951).
Whiz #154 and #155 are also curiosities, in that Dr. Death supernatural stories ran in the same comic featuring Captain Marvel –; an odd synergy of the Golden Age and Atomic Age.
