Lot # 1707: 1944 Timely Comics Captain America Comics #39 - CGC 5.5

Offered here is an exceptional mid-grade example of Captain America Comics #39, one of the most striking World War II-era covers from Timely’s Golden Age of patriotic heroes. Issued at the height of the conflict, this classic issue features an unforgettable Alex Schomburg cover depicting Captain America leading the charge against Axis forces — a perfect embodiment of wartime comic artistry and morale-boosting heroism. Inside, readers are treated to bold, action-packed stories of Cap and Bucky thwarting spies and saboteurs, supported by backup features including the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner.

High-grade examples of Captain America Comics from this period are notoriously scarce, as wartime paper drives and heavy readership greatly reduced surviving numbers. This CGC 5.5, Cream to Off-White Pages copy presents with vibrant color saturation, strong page quality, and solid structural integrity for the issue’s age. Mid-grade copies of pre-#50 Captain America Comics issues remain extremely desirable among Timely collectors and Golden Age enthusiasts alike, representing the purest intersection of pop-culture iconography and wartime Americana. A superbly balanced, eye-appealing example — ideal for any collector seeking a strong representative of one of Timely’s flagship Golden Age titles.

Label notes are ”Otto Binder story, Alex Schomburg cover, Syd Shores, Vince Alascia, Allen Simon &
