Disclose Notes: On-sale date from Comic Reader #104.

Captain Thunder is obviously based on Fawcett's Captain Marvel, who had had his own DC comic for a year when this issue was published (Shazam!). DC didn't introduce Captain Marvel into the main DC universe until Justice League of America #137 (December 1976).
