Promise CollectionSilly 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 copy of Captain America Comics #2 hails from the respected Promise Collection, it has strong colors and eye appeal above its given grade. Joe Simon’s cover illustration introduces a few traditions to the Cap franchise, first off, this is the first sighting of the iconic round shield that would become the symbol of Captain America for decades to come. The book also shows the first Bucky in bondage, a theme that would endure throughout the wartime era, as the First Avenger would have to rescue his young compadre repeatedly from all manner of threats. Coming in at a grade that will please those bidders who have been priced out at higher grades, this is likely to be a popular lot in our Event Auction. A 3.0 copy of Captain America Comics #2 sold for $11,155 in March 2022.
