American Comics Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Avengers #4, 1st Silver Age Captain America
*Marvel: In the fourth issue of Marvel’s Avengers series, the already formidable team of Iron Man, Giant-Man, Thor and the Wasp was augmented by one of the legendary heroes from the past. Captain America returned to action after years in Post-WWII suspended animation, and rapidly became the acknowledged heart and soul of the Avengers, who have never flourished for long without him! The cover to this pence printed copy is unmarked except for some fine creasing at the bottom of the spine and along the bottom edge. The staples are firmly attached at the centre; the upper staple is loose at the front cover only, with a small tear of less than 1 cm and no loss. There is just a touch of Marvel chipping to the right edge and the top edge of the back cover is a little ragged. Page quality is a fairly nice off-white. Cover colours aren’t vibrant, but are quite reasonable. High resolution images are available on request.
