Captain Marvel Adventures #139 (1952)

Billy Batson, Boy Broadcaster, is reporting on the Red Crusher, a terrifying North Korean General who is fighting UN forces in the “Yangpo” Sector. Once he's done, he calls SHAZAM to have Captain Marvel look into things on the war-front. He soon finds that there are large, round, spiked bombs that Captain Marvel is able to fly through and kicks them away. The Red Crusher himself tries to unleash a long-spiked meteor hammer to attack Captain Marvel with himself, but it shatters against the Stamina of Atlas and Captain Marvel headbutts him in the stomach, running ahead to Giant Swing him into his own men, only stopping to save a wounded UN soldier. The next day, the Red Crusher's Spiked Balls return and finds that they're fired from a giant tank vehicle, but before Captain Marvel can properly dismantle it, they fire another Spiked Ball, which Captain Marvel has to fly off to topple out of the air. Captain Marvel tries to follow the path of the tank when he returns, but finds it seems to drive directly into a river, not knowing that it's actually an underwater passage leading to a secret base in the mountain. However, he figures that out pretty quickly when he finds a big air vent leading into their secret base and calls SHAZAM to return Billy to sneak into it. Billy finds this is a large factory where the Spiked Balls are being made, but is knocked out by a North Korean guard with a rifle and wakes up, as usual, bound, gagged and tied to a large North Korean Spiked Ball as the Red Crusher mocks that he's going to use these via remote control to destroy UN forces with Billy tied to one. Billy manages to slip his gag on some tangled barbed wire and calls SHAZAM to summon Captain Marvel, who digs a giant trench to swallow up the bombs and punches the Red Crusher out, arresting him. The UN forces salute Captain Marvel as he leaves for doing his part and later, Billy signs off saying that the Red Crusher won't make news due to meeting the Marvel Crusher!
