<B>Captain America Comics #78 (Atlas, 1954) Condition: NM-.</B></I> Warren Hall's run of the three "Atlas-revival" <B>Cap</B></I> issues is really something special, and while this one -- like his superb #76, offered in our last auction -- could not be encapsulated by CGC because of an overhang, we know of no finer copy, especially considering this one's <I>white</B></I> pages. Indeed, the highest-graded copy on CGC's census is just VF+ 8.5, so we expect a result here comparable to Mr. Hall's other two <B>Cap</B></I>s which sold for 3x and 6x Guide respectively. This final issue of the proud original Timely-Atlas series was the last 1950s appearance of both Captain America <I>and</B></I> the Human Torch. Dick Ayers drew the Torch story, while the cover and the rest of the issue were the work of John Romita Sr. Overstreet 2007 NM- 9.2 value = $1,500. <I> From the Warren Hall Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Unslabbed (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
