Item Description
This cover is one of the most striking comic book history. Joe Simon and
Jack Kirby didn't have to do another cover in their life and they would still be
remembered for this one. The cover design is largely credited to Joe Simon who
than inked Jack Kirby's pencils .Under an incredible barrage of firepower,
Captain America takes out the head of the Nazis with one single punch. The cover
of the book is packed with detail, but take special notice of the Television
directly above Captain America's head. It appears that a Nazi is monitoring the
destruction of an American munitions plant. How many people even knew what a TV
was in 1941? This is the first appearance of both Captain America and Bucky. The
issue also tells their origin, and the book introduces their classic foe, the
Red Skull. It features stories by Simon, Kirby and Ed Herron, and art by Simon
and Kirby as well as Al Liederman. The inside cover has an advertisement for the
"Capt. America Sentinels of Liberty Club". In addition to the 45 pages of
Captain America, there are backup features Hurricane, and by Simon and Kirby,
Tuk the Caveboy. The pages are cream to off-white. The book is CGC-certified VF
8.0. Of all the patriotic superheroes that appeared at this time, Captain
America was by far the most impressive. He was also the longest lasting, with
this title running 78 issues.
