Captain America Comics #3 features the second appearance of the Red Skull, and the first cover appearance of Cap's enduring nemesis. (In this case, of course, the Red Skull is a mere pawn of Johann Schmidt, who'll emerge from the shadows in Captain America #7.) This May, 1941 issue also boasts Stan Lee’s first published comics story, with the Timely Comics office boy scripting a text tale titled "Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge." Collectors are also getting the first “shield toss” where Cap’s shield is thrown with fierce accuracy.

Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
Joseph Henry Simon was an American comic book writer, artist, editor, and publisher. Simon created or co-created many important characters in the 1930s–1940s Golden Age of Comic Books, such as Captain America, and served as the first editor of Timely Comics, the company that would evolve into Marvel Comics.
