I found old Captain Marvel Adventures comics online, so prepare for me to scream like a banshee about new ideas and re vamps of older plots and characters to help bring more Captain Marvel stories to life!

Decided to combine the idea that the Captian Marvel comics used to be actual comics in the DC universe before he became a superhero and that Lex Luthor is Cap's number 1 fanboy and have Lex collect the Captain Marvel comics.

I've been collecting each time Billy wears anything else besides his red long sleeve shirt and blue slacks in Captain Marvel Adventures and Whiz Comics.

Here's some of my favorites. If i had access to higher quality scans I'd probably post more of em. Billy in a suit is my favorite. There's one where he's in a white suit and its adorable but the scans are too low quality so it looks like shit.

I know this is probable a weird thing to ask you, but you seem to know more about older Fawcett, so I’m crossing my fingers😆. Which Fawcett heroes have comics? And if these ones do, do Fawcett heroes make cameos in each other’s comics? For example, if Billy was in a Bullet Man and Bullet Girl comic, or if Minute Man was in a Mr Scarlet comic.
Okay, I am by no means an expert, but hopefully I can help!
So back in the day Fawcett comics had a ton of different comics under its umbrella. The most famous is obviously the Captain Marvel stories which was first published in Whiz Comics #2. Whiz comics also included stories featuring other heroes such as Ibis the Invincible, Spy Smasher, and Golden Arrow.
Lots of heroes also had shorter solo runs including Bulletman, Ibis the Invincible, Minute Man and Spy Smasher. (Also Captain Marvel Jr and Mary Marvel had their own solos!) Typically the comic titles are just the hero's name so they shouldn't be too hard to search. For the most part those don't include many crossovers (except for the Mary and Jr ones).
Wow Comics features Mary Marvel as the main protagonist for many issues but also includes stories of Mr. Scarlet, Commando Yank, and Phantom Eagle (often crossing over with Mary's adventures).
Master Comics also includes stories of Bullet Man, Minute Man, and Captain Marvel Jr (often crossing over together).
More Marvel family focused comic runs included cameos and team ups with other heroes, though typically only for one or two issues at a time. Some popular long running titles are: Captain Marvel Adventures, Captain Marvel Jr, The Marvel Family, and Mary Marvel.
There was also a fun bit of advertising in the Marvel comics just before Mary made the jump to her own adventures in Wow Comics where Pinky Butler was writing her letters encouraging her to join him and Mr. Scarlet in Wow comics. Despite mostly being for advertising purposes it set up a fun friendship between the two!
I can't seem to find the issue I'm looking for where Billy as a reporter for WHIZ is hosting a formal event showcasing a bunch of the other Fawcett heroes, which I think you'd enjoy. It was really sweet and if anyone has the panels on hand I feel free to add them!
Hope this helps! Finding good quality scans of some of these older comics can be hard but they are out there!

Whiz Comics #2 (February, 1940). The first appearance of the original Captain Marvel. Cover by C.C. Beck.
Why is this issue #2? Well, since ya asked I'll tell ya.
Originally the book was titled both Flash Comics and Thrill Comics, and the hero was named Captain Thunder. Ashcan editions of Flash Comics and Thrill Comics were produced by the publisher, Fawcett Comics, in November, 1939, in order to secure trademarks. However, Fawcett immediately found out that "Flash Comics", "Thrill Comics", and "Captain Thunder" were already in use by other companies.
Fawcett scrambled to retool their new book. The second issue, the first distributed to newsstands, was retitled Whiz Comics. Captain Thunder became Captain Marvel. And just like that, Fawcett Comics had a bonafide hit and became a major player in the comic book field!
The rest, as they say, is history.
