American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Tales of Suspense #75 – Debuts of Sharon Carter (Agent 13) and Batroc the Leaper
*Marvel: The Captain America half of Tales of Suspense #75 introduced not one, but two, characters who were to factor largely in the life of the Star-Spangled Avenger. One was Batroc the Leaper, the savate-stomping stereotype who has unexpectedly kick-boxed his way into the hearts of fandom, who know him with affectionate derision as ‘Batroc Zee Leapair’; the other was Sharon Carter, a.k.a. Agent 13 of SHIELD, in this story a nameless young woman whose innocent appearance conceals a deadly skill set – and who became the second love of Cap’s life. This is a lower graded cents copy with heavy spine roll, tanned interior covers and edge wear, particularly at spine, but is otherwise okay, with good staples and decent pages.
