Owner's Description
Despite being 7.5 it is the second highest grade following the 8.0 copy. It's also a Pedigree copy and one of only three graded copies. The other Crowley copy is even lower at 6.5. Not sure why Crowley beat this issue so badly.

"Sivana's Better Self"
(Appearance) Sivana
(Pencils/Inks) Pete Costanza
The story opens with Sivana already the dictator of a "friendly country" but he gets on the radio and claims that he only has peaceful intentions. No one believes him and with good reason because Sivana is only trying to scam the world. In order to convince people he IS good Sivana takes a formula that will literally turn him good for 24 hours. Captain Marvel shows up and Sivana being good reveals his entire scheme. Sivana has missiles pointed at all the great cities of the world and Cap speeds to destroy them all. After destroying only 8 of 50 the formula wears off and Sivana orders the missiles launched. Cap fairly easily destroys the rest of the missiles and rushes to capture Sivana who has hid in a barrel. Sivana tries to convince Cap it wasn't his fault but Marvel isn't buying it and takes him to prison.

While Captain Marvel assists in setting up WHIZ the Color Maker is back in his factory setting up colors when one of his assistance comes by with some recent artwork from earth. He's so appalled by the use of colors that he strips all the color from Earth. Cap is flummoxed by the loss of color until the Color Maker shows up and explains that this is his revenge for the ugly use of colors in Earth paintings. When Cap threatens him the Color Maker recolors him except in purple with yellos polka dots. The Color Maker takes Cap back to his factor and even Cap agrees the colors in the paintings are pretty bad.

When the Color Master sees that his artwork is being broadcast in black and white he returns color to the world and the premier of color on WHIZ is a rousing success.
