Thank you for posting. A classic read.

Nice. Any ideas who the artist is?

[Moondog]

I think there's a good chance that Marty Nodell penciled it. He was in the bullpen at the time this book came out. It's very much in his style. Recently I saw a Subby cover rough and a photostat of the Cap 75 cover...

I wonder what role Dr. Jean Thompson, MD, psychiatrist played?

Probably very little, other than having her (his?) name attached to it as a bit of CYA. This would have come out about a year after Wertham's "Horror in the Nursery" article. There is an anti-Wertham editorial in CA 71, but I've never seen it. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a line in it about how all their comics are approved by their staff psychiatrist (who had probably just been hired). I knew that DC did something like this, but I didn't realize Timely/Atlas did as well. Cool stuff.

Thanks! Always wanted to read the story.

Yeah, it's pretty off beat for a cap. story. I would love a copy as well, but it's a little out of my price range. I'll just have to settle for my digital representation.

Wow... so Cap goes to bed wearing a Captain America costume too. Now I don't feel so weird.

Cap 74 cover is Nodell, while Cap 75 cover is Gene Colan. Not sure about who drew the cap story but Nodell is certainly a possibility.
