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. It took me a little over 10 years to complete the entire run in the higher grades I was looking for (Yes ALL 454 Issues). Some were cracked out from CGC / CBCS slabs. I will be listing more high grade Marvel & DC 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.

Finally, the star-spangled avenger and the Falcon get a lead on the whereabouts of the Madbomb! Or at least a lead on the person who likely built it. An electronics genius named Mason Harding is the Pentagon's prime suspect, and he lives in a sprawling estate on the Eastern seaboard. Cap and his winged partner head to the east coast and make plans to infiltrate the large manor. But when the shield-slinger slips inside a second floor window, he's taken aback by the person he meets: Carol Harding -- the daughter of Mason Harding. She is very charming...and also very ill. Cap realizes the raid on the mansion must wait -- until Carol is safe -- even though it might delay the discovery of the Madbomb. Is this true love? Cameo appearance by General Argyle Fist.
