Captain America #1 - Editoriale Corno - 1 Comic - First edition - 1973

Historic first issue of the Italian Captain America series published by Editoriale Corno.

This comic is Capitan America No. 1, released on 24 April 1973, marking the debut of the dedicated Captain America title in Italy during the golden era of Marvel publications by Editoriale Corno. Early Corno editions played a crucial role in introducing Marvel superheroes to Italian readers and remain highly collectible among enthusiasts of European Marvel publications.

The issue features the classic origin story of Captain America, written by Stan Lee and illustrated by the legendary Jack Kirby, one of the most influential artists in the history of American comics. The volume also includes an additional story featuring the X-Men, further enhancing the interest of this first issue for Marvel collectors.

This copy consists of 48 pages and retains its original stapled binding, with bright and well-preserved cover colours that remain vivid. The interior pages are complete and clean, showing only the normal, light age toning typical of comics from this period.

As visible in the photographs, a very faint trace of colour transfer can be noticed on the inside of the back cover, likely caused over time by contact with the adjacent printed page. The marks are extremely light and barely noticeable to the naked eye, and they do not affect the overall presentation or readability of the comic.
