Great books! Curious what your thoughts are about Captain Marvel and Superman and which do you think made the bigger impression on the kids back in the Golden Age?

I like the character of Superman a little better than Captain Marvel but I am not anywhere near old enough to answer the second part of that question.

Interesting questions! There are a few Youtube videos on the history of Captain Marvel that mention this.   Superman had a float in the NY Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in 1940: https://macysthanksgiving.fandom.com/wiki/Superman along with the radio show series, and 1942 cartoons, so he was widely popular. If I recall correctly the Captain Marvel and Marvel Family comics began to out sell Superman (and Action?) comics in the early 1940's, and then a Captain Marvel movie series in 1941: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033317/  So my guess is that they were tied in popularity in the 1940s! 

This is a well made video!
