DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pages; 2 ctr wraps missing, affects story, incomplete
classic WWII Hitler bondage cover by Joe Simon; Jack Kirby art; 2nd appearance of Captain America; 1st round shield (4/41)
Captain America Comics #2 features the first appearance of the circular shield that would become a vital part of the Captain America mythos. The newly-minted hero is also getting another shot at Adolf Hitler after punching him on the cover of Captain America #1. Timely had enough confidence in Cap to feature him in three different stories written and illustrated by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, including Steve Rogers' first appearance in drag for "Trapped in the Nazi Stronghold!"
Timely Comics, of course, remain one of the top searches for vintage comic collectors. Knowledgeable auction hounds have been aware of the scarcity, value, and cultural significance of these amazing books for decades. With the tremendous success of Marvel's movie franchise and the explosion of interest in Golden Age comics in general, these fearless books have gained newfound respect and demand in today's auction market. Captain America is the runaway favorite for Timely fanatics, with his patriotic comics also serving as historical artifacts featuring wild action, vintage WWII imagery, and works of fierce imagination that inspired decades of enduring popularity.
