Simon And Kirby 1941 Captain America Page Hits eBay

Published Tue, 11 May 2010 06:19:47 -0500

Well. You don't see these very often. An original page of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby-credited Captain America art, from issue 6, dated from 1941.

By this time they had the studio system in full swing, so it may not actually be Jack Kirby work here, or at least not all of it. But this is a genuine piece of comic book history. And it's got Cap and Bucky fighting on the same page with some seriously dodgy racial caricatures to boot.

The page previously sold for $38,000 but the bidder didn't complete the sale. So if you missed out then, here's your chance.

It's just topped $7000 on eBay with a few weeks to go. Anyone fancy making a bid.
