The Captain America #117 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of the Falcon, cover-dated September 1969, introduced by Stan Lee and Gene Colan. Sam Wilson is widely recognized as the first African-American superhero in mainstream American comics, and he later took up the Captain America mantle.
How to identify it
Captain America #117, September 1969, 12-cent cover.
Common mistakes
Confusing the Falcon's debut with his later first appearance as Captain America, a separate modern book. This issue is the character's original debut.
Grade considerations
A late-60s book that was not widely saved. Spine stress and tanning are common; high-grade copies carry a substantial premium given the character's modern profile.

Newest recorded sale: 2026-09-25. This summary describes stored history.
Inclusion
All 6 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
