Captain America Folder

I picked up the Captain America folder along with Thor and Spider-Man folders (more about those in future posts) in the mid-1970s. I had a few of the Captain America comics but I don't remember ever having issue #193 (January 1976). Jack Kirby returned to the character that he helped create at Marvel Comics starting with Captain America #193 so it was a landmark issue.

Not only was the actual comic cover reprinted in larger than normal size but the inside flaps and the back cover had actual panels from the comic book. The back has a copyright of 1975. I actually used the Captain America folder for several years during my middle and high school years. Yes, I was often picked on for being a comic book nerd at the time.
