American 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! This copy of Cap’s iconic return to action is a pence priced copy in GD-. The primary flaw, other than moderate general wear indicated by the grade, is the large figure ‘6’ written in Magic Marker on the logo and upper central cover, in the slapdash way beloved of old-time second-hand bookstalls. Otherwise, this clean and sound copy, firm at cover and centrefold, would grade at least GD+. However, we try to be fair, so GD- p it is, on sale at £275 for one of the single most significant issues of the Silver Age.
