American Update: Captain America’s First Solo Issue from 1968
*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 for the ride in this first issue!). This copy is a very respectable edition, clean and appealing, tight staples at cover & centrefold, superior inside pages, minimal corner and edge wear, an above-average copy of Cap’s premier issue.
