DescriptionSeptember 1972, Captain America #153, Page #18, Sal Buscema pencils/Jim Mooney inks, “Captain America--Hero or Hoax?”,I just had to bring this page back home. The best page in the book after the title page. I sold this glorious page back in 2011 and I regretted it since. It came up at auction in 2013 but I could not bid even half of the $2,390 it sold for. Well, I paid a few dollars more this time. Cap 153 was the 1st Captain America comic I ever read off the newsstand! And thus, I became a lifelong Cap fan in the summer of 1972. In fact, I know the exact date I became a Cap fan. It was June 13, 1972. I had just turned 11 years old about 2 weeks earlier. The original cover date for Cap 153 was September 1972, but the comic came out June 13th, 1972. (Source: my good friend Barry Pearl’s “The Essential Marvel Age Reference Project, 1961-1977 by Barry Pearl”, which shows the actual date that every Marvel comic showed up on the stand.) In Cap 153 began the historic storyline, "Captain America--Hero or Hoax?", written by Steve Englehart, which reintroduced the 1950s Cap and Bucky in the current Captain America timeline!

Great big high octane panels of sequential storytelling mastery. Sal Buscema is the John Wayne of comic artists delivering his famous punch in two panels on this page! Great inks but Mooney as well. Bravo!

Sal and Jim's delivery of action has power and grace! Cap vs Falcon and they don't pull their punches with the big swing impact added to every connecting blow.

Aw... so YOU are the one that beat me in the auction... I should have guessed! Congrats on the piece, buddy. It will look great with the rest of your Sal collection.
