Captain America #111 is a striking late-Silver Age issue showcasing Jim Steranko’s distinctive storytelling and design, featuring both cover and interior work from the legendary creator.
In this tense HYDRA-driven chapter, Captain America is targeted by Madame Hydra’s assassins while Rick Jones becomes entangled in a psychological trap meant for Cap himself. As HYDRA escalates its attack using advanced robotics and mind-bending tactics, Cap is forced into a desperate search for Rick that culminates in one of the issue’s most memorable moments, a rooftop escape that leaves authorities questioning Steve Rogers’ very identity.
This issue is notable for its Steranko visual style, espionage tone, and its role in redefining Captain America’s Bronze Age direction.

Grading
CGC 6.5 (Fine+)
All graded comics ("slabs") are the exact items shown in photos.
I am not a professional grader. All raw comics are sold as-is and are described to the best of my ability. Please review photos carefully, as they are of the exact item you will receive. Any visible defects (including spine ticks, corner wear, or foil imperfections) are shown in photos. I make no guarantees of grading outcomes.
Slabbed books (CGC/CBCS) may have minor scuffs, scratches, or display Newton Rings (a rainbow-like effect caused by the case). These are cosmetic only and do not affect the comics grade or condition.
If cosmetic case imperfections are a concern, buyers can submit the book to CGC for a re-holder service. Please note that re-holdering is handled entirely by CGC, and any outcome such as changes to label designation, grader notes, or grade is determined solely by CGC's internal review process.
Raw books are boarded, sleeved, and sealed with a serial-numbered Tamper Seal (TSSN). The TSSN is logged for tracking and quality control and helps ensure the item received matches the item listed. Items are also documented during packing and securely packaged for shipment to ensure accuracy and safe delivery.
