These are great for those who value historical authenticity, and like the feeling of owning a high-grade copy of the real item. Provenance details, CGC grade, and auction valuations refer to the source copy scanned.

Our "Restored" reproductions offer a clean, uniform border, and minimal signs of wear— great for those who want to enjoy an ideal version of the item closer to how it appeared when originally produced.

Syd Shores

Syd Shores (1916–1973) was a pivotal Golden Age comic artist and inker known for his dynamic realism and Alex Raymond-inspired style. A Pratt Institute graduate, he shaped Timely/Marvel’s iconic Captain America and Sub-Mariner, later defining titles like The Black Rider and Kid Colt. His versatile postwar work spanned gritty men’s adventure magazines and Silver Age classics, leaving a legacy as Jack Kirby’s collaborator and Gene Colan’s mentor.
