Highest Graded
Not only does the Iron Man/Cap double feature start in this issue, it is also the 1st solo Cap adventure since the 1950s. Nobody does it better than Kirby and Lee and this issue is no exception. Drawn in the pulse pounding Marvel way, the story is set in the Avengers' Mansion, Cap is chillaxing and a gang breaks in and tries to rob the mansion and take on the Star-Spangled Avenger. Needless to say, Captain America throws his mighty shield! Jarvis, the Avengers' butler makes his debut in this issue as well!
From the Collection of George Papadimatos. COA included. This copy is a knockout! While we haven't seen the other 3 copies out there, we'd be hard pressed to imagine they could equal the gloss, tightness, vivid colors and corners of this copy!

Artists Information

Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.

Richard "Dick" Ayers was an American comic book artist and cartoonist best known for his work as one of the main inkers during the late-1950's and 1960's Silver Age of Comics, including some of the earliest issues of Marvel Comics' including Jack Kirby's The Fantastic Four. He is the signature penciler of Marvel's World War II comic Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, drawing it for a 10-year run, and he co-created Magazine Enterprises' 1950s Western-horror character the Ghost Rider, a version of which he would draw for Marvel in the 1960s. His career would span 7 decades until his death in 2014.
