Description

Face the Ringmaster's Wheel of Death, when you gaze upon this 8/41 Timely Comics Captain America Comics #5 issue. From one of the most treasured titles in the history of comic books, this thrilling Golden Age issue is fronted with a truly classic cover by legend Jack "The King" Kirby. Centering the Nazi torture wheel the Ringmaster is set to spin, is nefarious super-villain the Red Skull. Still not hooked, ok here comes the clincher. While Stan Lee did his first writing in the #3 issue of this sacred title, it was a two-page text filler. This #5 issue features Lee's first actual comic book story, ""Headline" Hunter, Foreign Correspondent". Long-secluded by a dedicated collector, this bigtime Golden Age comic has just returned from CGC with a grade of 2.5, Light Tan to Off-White Pages. Label notes are "Jack Kirby and Joe Simon stories and art, Stan Lee story, Charles Nicholas art, Jack Kirby and Syd Shores cover. Tuk and Hurricane backup stories. 1st Stan Lee comic book story.".
