Captain America 80th Anniversary Selected By Roy Thomas

Plot

Commence an exclusive journey with The Folio Society and Marvel Comics, celebrating the 80th anniversary of a truly flagship Super Hero. The first in a new series, Captain America collects ten star-spangled tales in one spectacular hardback edition.

This ultimate comic-book chronicle of the Sentinel of Liberty also features a perfect replica issue of 1941's Captain America Comics #1. Former Marvel Editor-in-Chief Roy Thomas selects and introduces key stories from Cap's 80-year career – from wartime battles with the Red Skull to his Reagan-era resignation – presenting the ultimate portrait of Marvel's shield-slinging Super Hero. Award-winning Marvel illustrator Michael Cho provides inspiring cover art of Cap himself in glorious red, white and blue, as well as a sapphire slipcase design stamped with the iconic shield emblem.

Few embody the spirit of wartime Super Heroes quite like Captain America. Conceived by Jewish creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, the character famously punched out Hitler on the cover of Captain America Comics #1, months before America fully entered World War II. This iconic piece of comic book history has been reproduced in its entirety as the meticulous replica issue included with this edition. Every page has been painstakingly scanned from an authentic copy.
