One of the holiest of grail books (watch out for gator, he's snapping' at it).

MOAR Caps??? Real time photo from the Comedie du Livre, Montpellier, France!

MOAR?

From Cap #19.

 

The first center spread I ever saw, and still my favorite.

[Arkadin]

I've never seen these center spreads before. They're amazing - and must have blown kids' minds back in the 40's.

[Rip]

I think most, if not all of the first 20 issues have them. Afterwards, I'm not too sure.

[Mac Man]

I think the first two I remember seeing were the ones shown here from #s 19 & 20. What I find really interesting about the Timely Caps is how different Kirby's work was then versus his more stylized SA (and beyond) rendering. Frankly, I think the GA version is (at times) much smoother and athletic than strongman-esque.

 

There are also a few of those later "Captain America: Commie Smasher" covers that are really, really well done (some of which I think were JRSR's work).

Center spread...

 

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Since most of my Caps are slabbed, interior shots would require his undergoing MRI. As he's military, Cap's GI benefits don't cover such extravagance without proper authorization.

 

Here's a couple of more covers for good measure though...

 

 

 

There's still MOAR, but you've probably seen most of my Caps before, in the Timely thread. Still, I'm trying to mix it up a bit.

The John Romita covers are some of my favorites as well from the original run:

Sweet copy DK!

[Mac Man]

Have the coverless copies of Cap 1 started catching up with coverless copies of Batman 1 yet?

[Larryw7]

Here are the only three I have right now(working on another one though).

Very nice Larry! Those later issues are tough in grade.

Thanks, Cat!
