I've never preferred Bucky on the cover as it is, but I feel Goodman signed off on Bucky in a good effort to rally support (hence, Sentinels of Liberty Club) amongst the kid's/teens at that time for the war...

I always figured it was a response to Robin in terms of assisting with sales. He's a big enough deal that CGC lists him in the label. Would be cool if they put in parenthesis (Winter Soldier) How well known/popular is Bucky these days ? Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, Goodman was the little guy in the field and was always trying to measure up sales with DC and Fawcett, but since Cap was a patriotic war superhero, that made Bucky a little extra special (so hoped Goodman) than Robin.

Edited 9 hours ago by Primetime Bucky would kick Robin's green undies (just like Kato would have if Burt Ward hadn't raised a stink ala the 60s TV show ) And they had the good sense to put pants on Bucky.

Chicago Boy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Does having the Winter Soldier on the cover make this book more attractive to the young collector in 10-20 years? Edited November 8, 2017 by Chicago Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that it's the 1st app. of Bucky Barnes, the eventual Winter Soldier definitely has appeal. I also think Captain America: The Winter Soldier was the best film to come out of the MCU. That doesn't hurt either. Knightsofold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telerites Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 14 minutes ago, Chicago Boy said: Not familiar with the Ward-Lee scenario--please expand ps Love Robin There is a lot of urban legend around the Batman/Green Hornet crossover during their run in the 60s. Below is a little excerpt from a book about different TV tropes. When you search for it, there are tons of stories and such. There are also many stories where Bruce Lee during the shooting acted like he was really going to use his skills to kick Ward's behind since Ward had been bragging about how good he himself was at martial arts. Lee didn't speak at all before the shooting and stayed very stoic and evidently really scared Ward into thinking he was going to be Robin, the Bloodied Blunder. All of this is up to debate but I don't think there is any doubt Bruce Lee would have sent Ward home with a "who's your daddy now, pretty boy?" look. As for Robin, I totally understand the reasoning for adding him with Bats but for me a dark, solitary Bats in the best. Although the 50s Bats with the sci-fi and more oddballish stories with both Bats Robin are some of my favorites. By the way, did anyone know that Bruce Lee was considered for the role that David Carradine got in the "Kung Fu"Tv show. That would have been pretty interesting with him in that role. Robin is still a dweeb though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Boy Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I was looking at the low grade Blue Cap 1 coming up for auction on CC. Does the cover right edge look trimmed to anyone ? I'm always thrown off by the words by Cap's red boot---I always assume if there are only 2 dots after the narration of Cap punching Hitler it is trimmed (ie . . ) Any insight into this ??

Haljordan168 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Any thoughts to the tape on the 1.5 CC copy? Seems like it was graded when tape “helped” the grade. Is it a 1.0 with detached cover in today’s grading standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that grade level the tape isn't helping anything and is an allowable defect either way. Detached covers are allowed up to a 4.0 I believe. -J.

Chicago Boy Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Did Kirby draw Bucky on the cover> Doesn't look like a Kirby drawing to me? Also, how old was Bucky supposed to be when he was frozen before becoming The WInter Soldier ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think Bucky looks like a kirby drawing (from the time). As for the age of Bucky, idk. I haven't caught up on the whole retconned winter soldier thing. If he was also some sort of special agent at the time, and not the "kid" Cap thought he was then there's no telling the age.
