American Comics Update: Captain America #100 – 1st issue of series
*Marvel: Following his return to active service in Avengers #4, Captain America became a companion feature of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense. After the division of the Marvel double-feature books in 1968, when distribution embargoes were slackened, Cap gained his own series again, though it retained the numbering of Tales of Suspense, premiering with #100. Featuring the talents of Lee, Kirby and Shores, this re-introduced the Sentinel of Liberty in solo action to the modern age (though between the retelling of his origins and his ongoing plotlines, he certainly had enough pals along in his first issue!). This is an okay copy; although it is not pence priced there is an ‘8c’ stamp beside Cap’s figure on the cover. The inside covers have edge tan, with what looks like water damage at outer edges, which is not too bad, although you can notice marks on the right cover edge towards the bottom. Staples are tight and firm; creamy pages.
