<B>Young Allies Comics #1 (Timely, 1941) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white pages.</B></I> The Young Allies burst onto the scene with this issue, which features the group's origin and first appearance. Making up the team were Captain America's sidekick Bucky Barnes, the Human Torch's pal Toro, and a colorful crew of like-minded youngsters (who often had to be rescued by the other two). And if even that isn't momentous enough for you, how about the fact that the story has the first-ever meeting of the Human Torch and Captain America? Overstreet has noted the increasing interest in this comic: the 2004 Guide moved it up in its rankings of the most valuable Golden Age books, elevating it to the top 50. The interior art is by Charles Nicholas, and the story is by Stan Lee ("The Man" was just a boy back then!). Jack Kirby, who co-created the group with Joe Simon, draws the issue's cover, which shows the Red Skull and Hitler getting what they so richly deserved: a punch in the face. CGC notes, "2 small pieces of tape on centerfold."

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.
