In this week’s What’s Old spot, where we feature items from our previously-listed inventory, one of the earlier attempts at reprinting Golden Age Marvel material: the 1991 Captain America: The Classic Years Slipcased Edition, which collected, in two hardcover full-colour volumes, the first ten issues of Captain America Comics from 1941, by the team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Long neglected (apart from a few heavily-edited reprints in the 1960s) these stories from the beginnings of the Super-Soldier of World War II should have been a big hit – but unfortunately, someone in the colour separation department decided to add crude drawings to the yellow plate, resulting in inappropriate images coming out in the final print. Embarrassed, Marvel hastily ordered a recall of the product, and the vast majority were destroyed. This is a NM copy of the original printing (not the 1999 re-release, which was corrected and the offending images removed), and is on sale at £75. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
