*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: One of the most significant comics from the prestigious Bute Collection this week: All Winners Comics #1 Summer 1941. Featuring Captain America and Bucky, Sub-Mariner, Human Torch and Toro, the Angel and the Black Marvel. They each appear in separate stories and the All-Winners Squad wasn’t formed until #19  (although there is an All-Winners text story in this issue written by Stan Lee). Cover by Alex Schomburg, Torch strip by Carl Burgos, Black Marvel by Stan Lee/Al Avison, Captain America by Kirby and Simon, Sub-Mariner by Bill Everett, Angel by Paul Gustavson. Thus all the characters are depicted by their signature writers and artists.
Although a low grade copy, the cover image is bright, clean and almost unmarred; the spine is considerably worn with small nicks at top and bottom, and a small mark above the ‘w’ in the logo. Page quality is pretty decent off-white to cream with just one or two faint marks in the margins. The spine is (neatly) split for about 12 cm in three separate splits; the staples are secure at the back but off at the front cover. All together the comic hangs together pretty well and is a reasonably solid copy. High resolution images are available on request.
