	FAWCETT COMICS STORY
		First of all, Fawcett seems to appear only until 1940, when Captain Marvel first appeared on a comic book (talking of Fawcett Comics is unavoidably, talk of the World's Mightiest Mortal), and the problems they ever have since the creation of such a powerful icon.
		Thrill Comics and Whiz Comics were going to be at first Flash Comics but DC won the race with their comic featuring the adventures of the Scarlett Speedster, Jay Garrick (The Golden Age Flash), who by the way, wears a costume that reminds to the one that Captain Marvel uses, or vice versa.
		Fawcett decided to stop one of the most successful and great inventions of the Comics Iconography, for $400,000, that DC paid, but not only for Captain Marvel, but some other characters of the Publishing House, such as, Shazam, Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., Uncle Dudley, Mr.

	CHS: Comics: Heroes, Heartthrobs & Horrors
		Fawcett stories are reproduced in Canadian comic books, with the artwork retouched to produce Canadian versions of the Fawcett characters.
		Fawcett discontinues all of its superhero titles, as a result of over a decade of lawsuits from National/DC and dwindling interest in the superhero genre.
		#1 was one of the first comic books to fall victim to the "speculator" phenomenon (where comics are bought in anticipation of future value), with many dealers and collectors buying multiple copies right off of the delivery trucks; as a result, relatively few issues ever reached the newsstands.

	Captain Marvel (DC Comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fawcett ceased publishing Captain Marvel-related comics in 1953, due in part to a copyright infringement suit from DC Comics alleging that Captain Marvel was an illegal infringement of Superman.
		Fawcett decided to settle with DC out of court instead of retrying the case (one they were not certain they would again win, even with the enhanced evidentiary record of specific comic panels, incidents and other distinguishing features of the two characters - Superman and Captain Marvel).
		When superhero comics became popular again in the mid-1960s (in what is now called the Silver Age of comics), Fawcett was unable to revive Captain Marvel because in order to settle the lawsuit it had agreed never to publish the character again.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Master Man (Fawcett Comics)
		Master Man was a short-lived comic book superhero, created in 1940 and similar in fashion to the original Captain Marvel and Superman.
		Published by Fawcett Comics as the lead character of Master Comics, he was described thus: "the world's greatest hero: Master Man! Stronger than untamed horses!
		The series only lasted six issues, due to a lawsuit threat from National Comics (later DC Comics) who had been emboldened by a recent legal victory against a similar character called Wonderman.

		The only trully successful rival to DC's Superman character, the similarities lead to legal entaglements that contributed to the comics line's demise- though not before turning Fawcett Comics into one of the biggest four-color money-makers of the 1940's, and bringing forth a stable of other hit characters.
		Remaining in the magazine publishing business for many years, Fawcett kept a hand in the comics market from 1958 to 1980, producing and distributing a line starring Hank Ketcham's Dennis The Menace.
		DC Comics revived the Marvel Family in the 1970's, and has produced new stories featuring them (and occassionally guest-starring some of the other Fawcett heroes) on an irregular basis since then.

		Comic book illustrator Dave Cockrum, who in the 1970s helped revamp the then-obscure X-Men title and turn it into a wildly popular franchise for Marvel Comics, has died from complications of diabetes.
		The son of a U.S. Air Force officer, Cockrum was a fan of comics from an early age, especially of Captain Marvel by Fawcett Comics and Quality Comics' Blackhawk.
		Upon leaving DC for Marvel, Cockrum was teamed with writer Len Wein and handed the struggling X-Men title, created in 1963 as a group of young outcasts enrolled in an academy for mutants — a premise that failed to attract many fans.
