Shazam #16 (1975)

At night, two helicopters approach a judicial building in Fawcett City with a heavy load… Within, respected and kind Judge Matthew Pleasant orders a criminal, Elias Skinner, to 20 years for leading children to crime, but lets his children off to enjoy a new life via a foster family. Outside, Prof. Gilbert Thorne, a criminal who's been in jail for 25 years due to Judge Pleasant's verdict. He replaces the statue of Iustitia with an evil counterpart, the Statue of Injustice (one of the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man!) and takes the good statue back to his hideout. This makes Judge Pleasant suddenly evil and starts making patently unjust rulings: first he frees an evil landlord, Henry Hamstring, who hired men to steal from his tenant, Mrs. Wavisham so she couldn't pay her rent on time… and orders her to a year and a day in prison for not paying her rent on time. A reporter dashes out to tell this to the paper and runs into Thorne. Later, Judge Pleasant orders a man to 40 years hard labor for picking flowers in the park, orders a woman (Mrs. Redgap) to go to jail for complaining about Mr. Ruggles, a hippie playing his drums too loud at night, then throws out a case of a man stealing a police car. The next day, Billy Batson meets Freddy Freeman at his Newsstand to find that Judge Pleasant has been making horrible calls and Billy decides to look into it, but is distracted by criminals escaping in a pink sedan while cops are stuck behind a cement truck. Billy quickly calls SHAZAM to become Captain Marvel and the goons find that shooting at him yields predictable results before the World's Mightiest Mortal pops the rear tires off their car entirely and they're quickly arrested. Captain Marvel rides with the cops to take him before a Judge and sees the Injustice Statue, but when he goes to move it, it speaks, saying that if it is moved, it'll cause an earthquake via an underground fault. They head inside and find that no one is quite willing to be the first case on the docket under Judge Pleasant, who is flippant about the goons stealing art from the Art Museum, but is furious that Captain Marvel has flown through a red light and orders him to 50 years hard labor. Prof. Thorne titters quietly in the gallery as to having created the Injustice Statue while in prison to “reverse” the Judge's thoughts. Arriving in prison, Captain Marvel proves that he can hammer the entire rock pile with a single blow, reducing his ability to do much more work. To fix things, he returns to being Billy, who is immediately released and goes back to the courthouse, finding Judge Pleasant is going to a tour of the prison compound and Billy follows. He soon recognizes Prof. Thorne and he lies that he was once a prison librarian. Billy goes to the library, pretending he's work on a story, and soon finds Prof. Thorne's blueprints for the Injustice Statue. He calls SHAZAM to become Captain Marvel once more and precisely throws a sledgehammer in the air to destroy the Statue. Judge Pleasant realizes his mistakes of judgment and the World's Mightiest Mortal to punch over Prof. Throne, who is arrested as Judge Pleasant reverses his horrible decision-making, especially noting that Captain Marvel didn't break a law; birds fly through red lights all the time and are not arrested! Later, Billy says that the Statue of Iustitia was found and returned.
