Between capping volcanoes, foiling bank robberies, and averting nuclear disasters, Captain Marvel has constantly faced challenges-leaving his young alter ego, Billy Batson, little time for his own life. But when Billy receives a request for Captain Marvel to appear at a children's hospital, the Captain encounters one special child who deeply affects the hero and shows how human the World's Mightiest Mortal is. Written by Emmy Award-winning writer Paul Dini and illustrated by Eisner Award-winning artist Alex Ross, Shazam!: Power of Hope is a personal tale of frustration, triumph, despair, and joy for all ages.
