American Update: Captain America’s Relaunch with issue #100
*Marvel: Following his return to active service in Avengers #4, Captain America became a companion feature of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense. Following 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 copy is a very respectable VG pence edition, with moderate spine wear and a light book centre stamp just below the faint distribution mark at the cover’s right edge. A clean, appealing copy of a premier issue, VG p £70. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
