Description
Captain America Comics #1 (Timely, 1941) CGC VG+ 4.5 Off-white to white pages. What a clean, appealing front cover this copy has! And note the bold red stripe at the top - a spot where many copies you'll find have faded to almost an orange color. Not many unrestored copies is this grade range look this nice. And for that matter, not many copies of Cap #1 are unrestored, with blue labels in the minority on CGC's census. And this cover scene of Cap punching Hitler is justifiably one of the most famous in all of comic book collecting. While Marvel Comics #1 still holds the title of most valuable Timely comic, this book is closing the gap a bit more each year. It's the origin and first appearance of Captain America and Bucky by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, as well as the first appearance of the Red Skull. CGC notes, "1 small piece of tape on interior cover." Overstreet 2009 VG 4.0 value = $16,400. CGC census 1/10: 4 in 4.5, 26 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
