Jack Kirby cover & art; 1st app of Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
Second City CollectionSince Marvel had restored a World War II hero to active duty, why not bring back a villain from the era? Enter Baron Zemo, a Nazi superscientist, who gathers a collection of baddies and dubs them the Masters of Evil (in case anyone was uncertain as to their intentions), plaguing the Avengers with Adhesive X, a nasty one-size-fits-all super-weapon for which our heroes must find the antidote. Capped off with a by-now-expected epic Kirby free-for-all cover image, the growing legion of Marvelites lapped up this treasure when it hit newsstands in the Spring of 1964.
From the estate of a private collector.
Overstreet Guide 2017 NM- (9.2) value = $1,150.
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.
