Any CGC case may have minor imperfections including Newton rings, scuffs, standard surface wear, or minor cracks. CGC considers these defects acceptable, as do we. If there is any significant damage to the slab it will be noted in our description, and we will not list any slabbed comics with a damaged case that compromises the integrity of the grade.

Cover by John Buscema and Vince Colletta. In the Far East, the Red Guardian and the communists are in control as Hawkeye, Hercules, and the Black Widow are their prisoners! However a minor Sino-Soviet split could eventually prove their undoing.

Once Earth's Mightiest Heroes land at the secret military base, the expected free-for-all commences! While Goliath, Wanda, Pietro, and the Wasp fight the enemy soldiers outside the base, the shield-slinger slips inside -- for a cold war showdown for the ages: Captain America vs. But in a twist of fate, the decisive moment of the entire battle occurs when the Black Widow's life is threatened! Will the Red Guardian turn against the reds to save Natasha? Note: This story was reprinted in Marvel Triple Action #36.

We take pride in our accurate, consistent grading. You can be confident in receiving a well-graded comic when ordering from us. We understand that condition is important to collectors.
