American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: 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 Thor, Iron Man, Giant-Man 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! This copy from the Good Doctor Collection is pence printed and very low grade. It has additional staples near the top and bottom of the spine; the spine itself is very worn, with many small tears. Two interiors pages are loose and separated. Significant wear to all edges, with chipping at top and right, colour-breaking creases at bottom, but the central cover image is unmarked. Page quality is a little cream, but not too bad. It does look as if those extra staples are holding the comic together though. At least it’s complete and readable, and at a price you seldom see this major key issue for!
