American Update: Slab Happy/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Avengers #4, 1st Silver Age Captain America Golden Record Reprint
*Marvel: A bit of a Quirky Corner entry here. In 1966, Golden Records issued four Record and Comic sets: there were records produced for Thor (Journey into Mystery #83), Fantastic Four #1, Amazing Spider-Man #1 and Avengers #4, all with their own reprint comic. Although the reprint, at first glance, looks like the original, there are differences. There is no cover price on the reprint, and the back cover, as well as the inside covers, promotes the Golden Record LP series. In later years, these early reprints have gone on to be highly collected in their own right, as prices spiral ever higher on the originals. So we have here a CGC 6.0 copy of Avengers #4, the Captain America revival, universal blue label unrestored. (NB just the comic, no record). The real thing in this condition today would set you back getting on for a couple of thousand.
