CAPTAIN AMERICA / MEN'S ADVENTURES #27 (1954) - Mort Lawrence Hand-Drawn Captain America Page Five A
Hand-drawn artwork by Mort Lawrence used to produce page five of the Captain America story in Men’s Adventures #27. Captain America appeared in very few comics during the 1950s, with one of his rare adventures being The Girl Who Was Afraid, published in Men’s Adventures #27. The story sends Captain America and Bucky Barnes to Egypt to fight communism.

This artwork is from one of only three Captain America stories still known to exist from the ’50s, and is one of the last stories to feature Captain America’s original sidekick Bucky Barnes. When Captain America re-emerged in 1964 in the pages of Avengers #4, Bucky had apparently perished in an explosion that had thrown Captain America into icy water, where he remained frozen until discovered by the Avengers.

This original pencilled-and-inked artwork is drawn on illustration board by Mort Lawrence. The artwork features seven panels, each showing Captain America. Included with the lot is a reference copy of Marvel Super-Heroes #14 (1968), the first comic book to reprint the Captain America story from Men’s Adventures #27. Some minor stains and white-out correction fluid is present, and the board has a hole at each of its corners with light creasing in some areas. The artwork is in very good condition. Dimensions: 49.5 cm x 33 cm (19 ½” x 13”)
