American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: 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. Following a try-out with an imposter in Strange Tales #114, the real 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! Our latest copy is pence printed, with a cover unmarked except for some fine creasing at the bottom of the spine and along the bottom edge. The staples are firmly attached at the centre; the upper staple is loose at the front cover only, with a small tear of less than 1 cm and no loss. There is just a touch of Marvel chipping to the right edge and the top edge of the back cover is a little ragged. Page quality is a fairly nice off-white. Cover colours aren’t vibrant, but are quite reasonable. High resolution images are available on request.
