About the item: This hardcover presents the Timely Comics, Inc., a collection of modern stories focusing on Golden Age Marvel characters (then Timely Comics, hence the name), including Captain America, The Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner. Signed by hand by four contributing creators, Roy Thomas, Mark Schultz, Tom DeFalco, and Marc Guggenheim. In near mint condition, it will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- the signatures are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of the comic creators stated. They are not pre-printed images in the book. ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.
