Strange Tales #114 (1963) Silver Age Key
This collectible Strange Tales #114 is a solid VG/FN (Very Good/Fine) copy of a landmark Silver Age mystery. While the Captain America featured in this story is eventually revealed to be the villainous Acrobat, this issue was Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's way of gauging fan interest in bringing the Sentinel of Liberty back to the Marvel Universe. It stands as the essential "prologue" to the Modern Age of Captain America.
