Captain America Comics 1 CGC 6.0R SS Stan Lee Joe Simon
Rob Says: I just want to point out that this makes my blood boil. I don't even know if Stan Lee was even working for Timely at this point. If he was, he had nothing to do with the creation of Captain America. So… having him sign a copy of this book is just vandalism and calling him a "creator" alongside Joe Simon is just another in a long line of insults aimed at the late, great Jack Kirby. Stan is great, don't get me wrong. I just hate the compound effect his own hype machine and the void left by Kirby's passing creates in the mind of the public.

You are bidding on an impressive looking Captain America Comics #1 CGC 6.0. It has been permanently Authenticated by the CGC as signed by creators Stan Lee and Joe Simon. This comic has the restoration note: "color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cleaned" I can see no color touch up through the case. The comic has no other notes.

(compare that to 1381 copies of Amaz Fant 15, 1761 copies of amz spidey 1, 142 copies of Batman 1, and 88 copies of superman 1) This comic is agreed upon by collectors as ranking in the top 10 for most valuable comics of all time! THIS IS THE ONLY ONE ON EBAY – AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THE ONLY ONE FOR SALE ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET THAT IS SIGNED BY A CREATOR!!! (but if you find another let me know 🙂

Yea…. I dont get it? Why have Stan sign this? Just to cash in on his sig and have no concern for the provenance of the book. Shameless greed for sure…..
