DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs
classic WWII Hitler bondage cover by Simon; Kirby art (4/41)Silly Adolf, will you ever learn? Fresh off his jaw-crushing debut cover, Cap gets another crack at the furious Fuhrer, this time, with a shield to his sour puss. Timely comics have, over the years, shoved their way to the front of the line for vintage comic collectors. Knowledgeable auction hounds have been aware of the scarcity, value, and cultural significance of these amazing books for decades. With the tremendous success of Marvel's movie franchise and the explosion of interest in Golden Age comics in general, these punchy, fearless books have gained newfound respect and demand in today's auction market. Captain America is the runaway favorite for Timely fanatics, his patriotic and feverish covers are jam-packed with action, vintage WWII imagery and fierce imagination. This beautiful copy has cream to off-white pages, strong, bright colors with reds, whites, and blues that just jump off the page the way only Timely could master! It's also the first appearance of Cap's signature round shield! At an increasingly rare VF- grade, you will be hard pressed to find many other copies in better condition.
Overstreet Guide 2016 VF- (7.5) value = $14,475.

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.
Joseph Henry Simon was an American comic book writer, artist, editor, and publisher. Simon created or co-created many important characters in the 1930sā1940s Golden Age of Comic Books, such as Captain America, and served as the first editor of Timely Comics, the company that would evolve into Marvel Comics.
American comic book artist known for his work on Marvel Comics, particularly his co-creation of Whizzer and also his work on Golden Age Captain America.
