*Marvel: Smiling Stan tested the waters for a fully-fledged return of Captain America with this appearance in the Human Torch story in Strange Tales #114. Spoiler Alert: Of course, this wasn’t the real Cap; as revealed at the story’s conclusion, it was really the Torch’s old foe the Acrobat. But Stan made no bones about testing the water for Cap’s proper return, asking for letters to see if fans wanted the real Cap back. Of course, it was just a short while until Avengers #4, and the rest is history! Speaking of letters, the third ever Dr Strange story appeared as back-up here, in response to fans’ positive reaction to the character in #110 & #111, with the first appearance of Victoria Bentley.  So, a very significant issue. CGC 7.0 FN/VF, pence printed variant, universal blue label, case perfect, white to off-white pages. CGC Ref: 4307574007.
