Top 30 Captain America Comic Books
30 Most Valuable Captain America Comic Books
Since 1941, Captain America has wowed comic book collectors with thrilling stories, art and of course patriotism in spades of stars and stripes.
Captain America Comic Books: Golden AgeBorn during WWII, Cap became a symbol for the might of America, and firmly established the country's self-image of the world's saviour.
Action-packed and often (by today's standards) racist and violent cover art is a hallmark of the Golden Age Captain America comics.
By his rebirth in the Silver Age in Avengers #4, the world at large, and comics in particular, had changed radically. But there was still tons of support and love for Cap.
As part of the Avengers, he continued to save the world!
