D Copy
Highest GradedThis issue of Captain America Comics hails from the interesting period when hero comics were on the wane, and the staff at Timely attempted to reconfigure Cap's title into a horror book. This bizzare and unnerving Al Avison cover can be viewed as a symbol of the crossraods the comic industry was facing, confused about which way to turn and what the future would hold, therein lies the fascinating appeal of this oddball issue.
The D Copy of Cap #72 is the highest-graded example on the census, and the bright color scheme and solid construction make this a real rare treasure.
