Original production artwork for Captain America #209 (May 1977), page 15, illustrated by Jack Kirby (pencils) and Frank Giacoia (inks). Six-panel ink over graphite on Bristol board with original production paste-ups. The artwork features Captain America, Arnim Zola, Doughboy, and supporting characters during the classic “Madbomb” era of Kirby’s celebrated return to Marvel. Panel two is hand-signed by Jack Kirby in black ink. Editorial blue pencil guidelines, issue and page notations, production markings, and original paste-up elements remain visible, documenting Marvel Comics’ pre-digital production process. The reverse bears Marvel copyright stamps and production notations. Captain America #209 is regarded by collectors as a key issue, containing the first full appearance and origin of Doughboy and Primus.

 

Dimensions: Art: 16 x 10.75 in. Matted: 18.5 x 13.25 in.

 

Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $65 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined lot shipping available.

Condition

Good vintage condition with age-related toning and light discoloration. Minor edge wear and corner softening are present. Editorial blue pencil guidelines remain visible at the margins. Paste-up elements are present with minor lifting and adhesive residue. Light handling creases and scattered soiling are evident, more pronounced on the verso. Ink remains strong and stable throughout, with expected production wear consistent with original comic art of the period.
