<B>Captain America Comics #1 (Timely, 1941) CGC Apparent VF 8.0 Slight (P) Off-white pages.</B></I> This is one out-and-out exciting comic book. Its publication lit a spark that led to so very many spectacular things. Whose coming-out party was the most impressive: Captain America's? Or Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's? All three went on to brilliant careers, and this one story influenced every comic creator who ever picked up a pencil thereafter. Plus, with the possible exception of Superman, no character has been imitated, paid homage to, or just plain ripped off as many times. Oh by the way, one of the all-time great villains, the Red Skull, made his first appearance here. And one of the all-time most despicable villains, Hitler, got a haymaker to the face on the Jack Kirby cover, with Cap connecting on the punch many millions dreamed of landing. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: cover cleaned, cover & centerfold reinforced."

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
