American Update: Slab Happy! Silver Age Captain America & Sub-Mariner revivals in Avengers #4 and Fantastic Four #4
*Marvel: Issue #4 seemed to have a resonance in Marvel’s key team books of the early 1960’s. First, in Fantastic Four #4 (May 1962) the classic Golden Age character Sub-Mariner was revived and has gone on from there to be a major player in the Marvel Universe. Then, in Avengers #4 (March 1964), Captain America was revived, ‘disinterred’ from a block of ice, and has gone on to even greater heights of fame in the Marvel comic and film world since. We’re very fortunate, in our Slab Happy event, to have third party graded slabbed copies of both these landmark issues now available. Fantastic Four #4 is CBCS 6.5 (FN+) at £1,250; Avengers #4 is CGC 7.5 (VF-) at £2,000. Issues such as these, preserved as they are, are only going to continue to go up in value and represent serious investment potential. More from our Slab Happy event soon!
