Captain America Comics 132-Page Canadian Annual (Timely
<B>Captain America Comics 132-Page Canadian Annual (Timely, 1942) Condition: PR.</B></I> One of the rarest Timely comics, this is a Gerber "8" that Overstreet calls "very rare." Ranked among the 50 most valuable Golden Age comic books by Overstreet, this is a square bound issue that says "128 pages" on the cover, though Overstreet, counting the covers as pages, dubs it a 132-page issue. Released only in Canada, it sports the cover image from <B>Captain America Comics</B></I> #22, a blank inside cover, and the contents (in black and white) of <B>Marvel Mystery Comics</B></I> #33 (featuring the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner, the Vision, and the Angel) and <B>Captain America Comics</B></I> #18. The book bears the copyright "Universal Crime Stories Inc." While this copy is missing the back cover, the last page, and one interior page, note that the book is in "otherwise GD/VG" condition, with the only other significant negatives being some minor water damage on the inside front cover and a 1 1/2" strip missing in the middle of the spine. Definitely a highly collectible copy. Note that CGC cannot encapsulate this comic because of its thickness. Overstreet doesn't even list a value for grades above VF, and we haven't seen evidence that any high-grade copies exist. This same copy, the only one we've ever seen, sold in a previous Heritage auction for well over the GD Overstreet value of the time, and we expect similarly strong interest this time. Overstreet 2004 GD 2.0 value = $4,000.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Un-Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
