Item Description

As a 40 year serious collector I have acquired a vast inventory of most major Marvel and DC titles, as well as many Independents, Graphic Novels, Trades and hard Cover books. I believe my grading to be conservative and based on one THING, Can the book pull the said grade from Third Party Graders Like CGC, and CBCS. Ive submitted many books for grading and I have also cracked out plenty of CGC and CBCS books for my personal collection over the years. I will securely and promptly ship all orders and will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I will continue adding more comics, cards and books to my store here. Thank You for stopping by for a look.Ive been an Hip member since 1999 and a Top Rated Hip seller with 100% Positive Feedback for over a decade.

The time has come for me to start selling my treasured High Grade Captain America collection. As a life long collector of high grade comic books I completed this Captain America Run, Yes ALL 454 issues. It took me a little over 10 years to complete the entire run in the higher grades I was looking for. Some were cracked out from CGC / CBCS slabs. I will be listing more high grade Silver Age Cap books as time allows.

All the books I will be listing are Original unaltered books. None have ever been pressed or altered in any way.
I have been a long term seller of Comic Books and other collectables for over 20 Years and Hip Comic for the past 5 years. Please check my feedback.
My goal is a Smooth transaction with serious buyers looking to add higher grade Silver Age books to the collections.

Book Information & Description:

CAPTAIN AMERICA #140 ( 8.5 VFN+ ) Stan Lee / John Romita Sr. / 1971

* "In the Grip of Gargoyle!" Part 2 of 4. Script by Stan Lee. Pencils by John Romita Sr. Inks by George Roussos. Cover by John Romita Sr. Inside a stonecutter's storage yard, the Sentinel of Liberty and the Falcon battle the Grey Gargoyle! The heroes know they cannot let the gargoyle touch them...or they will turn to stone! The best Cap and his partner can do is fight the super-strong villain to a standstill -- and then free the missing policemen. Afterwards, while the shield-slinger meets with the policecommissioner, Redwing tracks the Grey Gargoyle's movements. And the Falcon decides to challenge the gargoyle on his own! Will Sam Wilson be the next person turned to stone? Retelling of the Grey Gargoyle's origin. Cameo appearances by Commissioner Feingold, Brian Muldoon, Leila Taylor, NickFury, Dum Dum Dugan, and Sharon Carter. 36 pages.

* This was another one of those issues I just couldn't seem to find in higher grade for my collection so I again resorted to Cracking -Out this Nice looking book from a CGC 8.5 VFN+ Graded Slab. I thought the book was more in the 8.0 grade range, but what do I know, The professionals at CGC deemed it an 8.5 VFN+. Grading is such a subjective thing.... regardless it is a Super Nice Cap book and will ship with the CGC Label.
