Country of origin UK
After DC had won it's court case against Fawcett's 'Captain Marvel.', Fawcett cancelled the title which was being reprinted by Leonard Miller. So to get around copyright problems a few changes had to be made....Micky Moran, (Billy Batson) boy reporter for the Daily Bugle. (instead of station Whiz) Shazam the Mystic becomes Guntag Bargholt and the magic word "Shazam" becomes "Kimota" (Atomic spelled backwards). Once uttered, the boy becomes, not 'Captain Marvel', but 'Marvelman', not the world's mightiest Mortal, but 'The Mightiest Man in the Universe'. See it all fits in rather nicely.

Publisher Nedor/Better/ Standard Comics

The origin is sort of a cross betwen Dr. Mid-Nite's and Two-Face's. Crusading DA John Colby has the goods on a mob boss, but when the trial comes to court, a mob henchmen flings acid on the incriminating paper documents, splashing Colby in the face in the process, blinding him.Later, a mysterious woman arranges Colby to undergo an experitmental operation. Colby's sight is restored...with the added bonus of being able to see perfectly in the dark. As the story progresses, he picks up three operatives: Silk, a reformed criminal; Butch, a muscle-bound bruiser; and Carol, the woman who helped him regain his sight. (c) Copper 2008To confuse things, Nedor originally intended to call the Mask the Owl. That accounts for the fact that in the early stories the Mask has a beak and the hero leaves behind a calling card that has an owl's head on it.
