Marvel Masterworks: Captain America Volume 1 Variant (Direct Market Edition)

Back in hardcover, beautifully restored to match the original comics and boasting expanded bonus material! On the eve of America's entrance into World War II, Steve Rogers was transformed from a 97-pound weakling into Captain America. But before the war's end, a tragic encounter left the Star-Spangled Avenger frozen in the North Atlantic and his sidekick, Bucky, dead. The world turned on for decades. When Cap finally was resuscitated, he was a man out of time tormented by the death of his partner. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby explore those themes as they bring you the rebirth of an American icon. They'll explore Cap's new life in the Marvel Age; reveal the origins of Cap, Bucky and the Red Skull; and introduce cornerstone characters and creations including Sharon Carter and the Cosmic Cube. Collecting material from TALES OF SUSPENSE (1959) #59-81.
