One of the world's foremost wielders of magic, Black Adam has been both hero and villain over a life that's spanned thousands of years.

Thousands of years before Billy Batson became a magically-empowered hero, the wizard Shazam selected another champion. Teth-Adam or "Mighty Adam" began as a hero of humanity, but then allowed his power to corrupt his ideals and desires. Now labeled Black Adam, he was exiled by Shazam, but returned in the modern day. A frequent enemy to Earth's heroes, Black Adam believes he is the right person to lead humanity and any action he takes is necessary for the greater good. Collecting Black Adam/JSA: Black Reign (New Edition), Shazam! Vol. 1, and Black Adam: Rise and Fall of an Empire, this box set is perfect for any Black Adam fan!
