DESCRIPTION
off white pgs; minor amount of glue on spine (blue Label)
classic Kirby Hitler Red Skull bondage cover; origin & 1st app of Young Allies; Cap meets TorchRiding on the popularity and success of its star, Captain America, Timely comics had no intention of canceling the red, white, and blue Avenger's off-shoot Sentinels of Liberty, despite the cooling relations between Timely management and the title's star creators, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. Enter young whipper-snapper and staffer, Stan Lee, ready to cut his teeth and show off his talents by taking over scripting duties on the rechristened Young Allies. To hedge their bets, Timely not only plastered the already-legendary Red Skull on the cover of the new title, but also sale magnet and would-be world-conqueror, Der Fuhrer. Interestingly, this book featured the first ever pairing of Timely's two main draws, Captain America and the Human Torch, and launched a dubious tradition of showcasing our heroes tied or strapped to one nasty-looking device or another.This is one of the nicest-looking copies we've ever seen of this charming key issue, and Timely collectors are already rubbing their hands together with glee in anticipation of bidding on this treasure.

Artist 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.
