Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang Vol. 6, No. 62 is the August 1924 issue of the notoriously popular and risqué Jazz Age humor magazine. Published by Wilford H. Fawcett (a World War I veteran known as "Capt. Billy"), this digest-sized pulp magazine was a staple of 1920s American pop culture. The magazine derived its name from the "whiz-bang" artillery shells of WWI. It specialized in "naughty" jokes, racy poems, and dynamic flapper cover art. Regular humor columns in this era included "Drippings from the Fawcett," "Pasture Pot Pourri," and "Farmyard Fun and Philosophy." It served as the financial launching pad for Fawcett Publications, which later created iconic comic properties like Captain Marvel (Shazam). 64 pages.
