M. F. Enterprises

M. F. Enterprises

M. F. Enterprises was a 1966-67 comic book publisher owned by artist and 1970s pulp-magazine entrepreneur Myron Fass, whose holdings also included the black-and-white, horror-comics magazine line, Eerie Publications.

M.F.'s best-known effort was Captain Marvel, no relation to the old Fawcett Comics superhero nor the later Marvel Comics characters of that name. The product of Golden Age great Carl Burgos, creator of the original Human Torch, this fascinatingly ill-conceived Captain Marvel was an alien android who fought crime by yelling "Split!" and utilizing his split-apart arms, legs, torso and head, which would reunite upon yelling "Xam!". The title lasted four issues, followed by two issues titled "Captain Marvel Presents the Terrible Five".

M. F. Enterprises also published an Archie-style teen comic, "Henry Brewster", which lasted seven issues, and a western series, "Great West"

The M. F. Enterprises' version of Captain Marvel makes a cameo appearance (along with other alternate versions of Captain Marvel) in issue #27 of "The Power of Shazam" (1997). The character is shown performing his trademark "splitting" while wearing a traditional Fawcett Captain Marvel thunderbolt costume. Other versions shown include Captain Thunder and The Marvel Bunny.
