*Marvel: We rarely get Timely Comics (the Golden Age precursor of Marvel) in stock, so we’re particularly pleased to have not one, but two, issues of Captain America Comics new in – and both are significant issues! We open with Captain America Comics #46, April 1945, a notorious ‘Holocaust Cover’ scene by Alex Schomburg, in which Cap and Bucky are shown liberating the luckless inmates of a Nazi concentration camp. While it may appear tasteless to dwell on such matters, the fact remains that the subject matter does make this issue significantly more sought-after than the ones around it. This copy is graded FA+, and is a bit of a ‘Curate’s Egg’ in terms of condition – while the lower cover edge is considerably worn, with small chips out of the lower back & front cover corners, and the staple rusty, the upper logo area retains very vivid, vibrant colour, and there is considerable gloss around the lettering, so the copy retains considerable eye appeal even in relatively low grade. This issue hardly ever seems to come up for sale, and there are precious few recorded sales to judge prices against, but because of the high demand and the controversial cover topic, this copy is priced at £1,375. Front and back covers are pictured below and high resolution scans are available on request. Our second Captain America Comics issue is #63, July 1947. A coverless copy, sound and clean,  this features two Captain America and Bucky Tales pitting the chums against super-villains (albeit  not very impressive ones – Rip Van Winkle and the Parrot!) but it’s the Human Torch story which is key here, offering the debut and origin of the Torch’s shapely-but-sinister nemesis, the Asbestos Lady. Victoria Murdock (to her friends) became a recurring foe of the Torch in the Golden Age, and enjoyed a second career from the 1970’s onward in ‘flashback’ tales in the Invaders series. Our coverless copy of #63, also pictured below, is on sale at £100. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
