One Panel #797: Was Shazam Santa Claus?

From "Capt. Marvel and the Phantom of the Department Store" by Otto Binder, Captain Marvel Adventures #19 (January 1943)

So, sure, I could have done my usual venting about Christmas and spotlit a panel of Captain Marvel punching Santa Claus from this story, BUT I'll throw all the Christmas lovers a bone this year with this very sweet panel of the Big Red Cheese giving gifts to little kids. Aww.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
