Captain America

Few icons carry the weight of Captain America, Marvel's star-spangled sentinel who made a memorable Silver Age entrance in Strange Tales #114 in 1963, courtesy of the legendary creative partnership of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. With a catalog presence spanning an impressive 53 years, this is a character whose endurance speaks for itself — turning up in the pages of Strange Tales, Doctor Strange Omnibus, and of course his own flagship Captain America series. He keeps remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Spider-Man, the Human Torch, and Susan Storm Richards, placing him squarely at the heart of the Marvel Universe's most exciting eras. With a key issue already to his name and a legacy that stretches across more than five decades, Captain America remains one of the most compelling figures in the entire Marvel canon — essential reading for any serious collector.
