Description
A copy of Captain America (1968 1st Series) #102, published by Marvel Comics in June 1968. This comic book is professionally encapsulated in a CGC Universal Grade slab, indicating a condition of 8.0 with “WHITE Pages.” The story is by Stan Lee, with cover and interior art by Jack Kirby and Syd Shores. Key appearances in this issue include Red Skull and the Sleeper. The vibrant cover artwork depicts Captain America in his traditional costume, mid-action, seemingly falling or flying, with his shield nearby, engaging a large, purple and orange, rock-like figure (the Sleeper) against a backdrop of crumbling structures, while a blonde female character in a green outfit observes. The front cover also prominently displays “MARVEL COMICS GROUP,” the 12-cent price, and “APPROVED BY THE COMICS CODE AUTHORITY,” with the tagline “THE SLEEPER STRIKES!” at the bottom.
Condition report:
The comic book is professionally encapsulated in a CGC Universal Grade slab, certified at 8.0 with \"WHITE Pages.\" The overall appearance is very fine, consistent with its high professional grade. No visible damage to the encapsulated comic itself beyond what is accounted for by the professional grading.
