Marvel Comics, November 1964 · CGC Universal Grade 9.0 · Off-White Pages
There is a quiet kind of importance to this book that the cover almost undersells. “2 Big Features for the Price of One,” it promises — and beneath the carnival-barker pitch is the issue that gave Captain America his first solo story since the 1950s, the moment the Sentinel of Liberty stopped sharing the bill and started carrying it. Stan Lee scripts; Jack Kirby draws the cover and pencils alongside Don Heck and Chic Stone; the result is a foundation stone of the Silver Age Marvel project.
This is the issue where the Iron Man and Captain America double feature begins — the format that would define the title for years to come, until each hero went on to carry his own book.
At CGC 9.0 with off-white pages, this is a copy preserved at the edge of what survives from sixty-year-old newsprint: bright, square, and honestly graded. A cornerstone book for the serious Marvel shelf, and one whose place in the canon only deepens with every new chapter of the screen mythology.
