*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Last week, the Falcon joined our listings, so this week it’s the turn of the Winter Soldier… well, sort of… During WW2, Bucky Barnes (Captain America’s side-kick) teamed up with Toro (the original Human Torch’s junior partner) and a gang of American kids to take on the Axis powers (as you do) as the Young Allies for 20 issues. Here, in #15, beneath a typical Timely mob scene cover, several Young Allies (and other) strips are waiting to enthrall you. Not a bad copy, detached at its one central staple (which is covered on the outside by a small piece of tape), and a 2.5 cm upper spine split, decent pages and a colourful glossy cover with a crease across the top right which does not break colour. A bit worn, but not too bad for a sprightly 76 year old! We don’t get many Timely super-hero comics through our hands, they’re pretty rare even in the US, so it’s a real joy to have this one, although I don’t imagine we’ll be detaining it for too long!
