    Captive American (1967 Topps) Captain America Parody 1
    • Consignment. 3% buyer's premium charged at checkout. Graded by MCS, not consignor.

    Krazy Little Comics (1967 Topps): Captive American, is one of sixteen parody mini-comics originally produced as test market items in 1967, by the Topps Chewing Gum Company. They did not see full national distribution. All were written by Roy Thomas and feature Wally Wood cover and interior art. These minis spoof not only Marvel and DC super-heroes, but other comic characters as well, like the Phantom, Prince Valiant, and Tarzan. These possibly predate, or are at least contemporaneous with, Not Brand Ecch! #1 (08/1967), and are among the rarest of the Merry Marvel Marching Society era items.

    Equilibrium Deconstruction (2017 American Mythology) 1C

    Photo Cover. Written by Laurence Moroney. Art by Jazz Dela Cuesta. Before Libria. Before Prozium. Before the Grammaton Clerics, there was a world much like our own. A world where a global conspiracy to reduce mankind's footprint on the environment clashed with the security agencies of global powers, desperate to maintain their control. Between them: one man, supplying them the weapons they desire, and one woman whose talents will (de) construct civilization. This is the untold story of the war that brought about the world of Equilibrium. 32 pages, full color. Cover price $4.99.

    Evel The High-Flying Life of Evel Knievel HC (2011 Doubleday) American Showman, Daredevil, and Legend 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    Evel Knievel was a high-flying daredevil, the father of extreme sports, the personification of excitement and danger and showmanship . . . and in the 1970s Knievel represented a unique slice of American culture and patriotism. His jump over the fountains at Caesar's Palace led to a crash unlike anything ever seen on television, and his attempt to rocket over Snake River Canyon in Idaho was something only P. T. Barnum could have orchestrated.

    The dazzling motorcycles and red-white-and-blue outfits became an integral part of an American decade. Knievel looked like Elvis . . . but on any given Saturday afternoon millions tuned in to the small screen to see this real-life action hero tempt death. But behind the flash and the frenzy, who was the man? Bestselling author Leigh Montville masterfully explores the life of the complicated man from the small town of Butte, Montana.

    He delves into Knievel's amazing place in pop culture, as well as his notorious dark side - and his complex and often contradictory relationships with his image, the media, his own family, and his many demons. Evel Knievel's story is an all-American saga, and one that is largely untold.

    Leigh Montville once again delivers a definitive biography of a one-of-a-kind sports legend.

    Hardcover, 400 pages, Text (with 8 pages of B&W Photos).

    Frink and Freud: The American Patient GN (2022 SelfMadeHero) Graphic Freud 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    Written by Pierre Peju. Art and cover by Lionel Richerand.

    In 1909, while on a fundraising lecture tour in America, Sigmund Freud met Horace Frink, an early disciple of his theories of psychoanalysis, whose traumatic childhood and complicated personal life later cast a shadow over Freud's professional career - and came close to destroying his reputation. This little-known and ultimately tragic true story of two divorces, three deaths, and a ménage à quatre, as well as the questionable motives behind Freud's involvement in it, is the subject of a groundbreaking collaboration between artist and animator Lionel Richer and the prize-winning philosopher, biographer, and novelist Pierre Péju.

    Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 216 pages, B&W.
