We begin with the Red Skull in a plot that forces Cap to do his nemesis' bidding or risk America's nuclear annihilation! Its Kirby action at its best with Batroc the Leaper and the Trapster, and Lee drama at its deepest as Cap relives his first meeting with - and the death of - Bucky Barnes.

After an awe-inspiring origin retelling by comics legend Roy Thomas, Cap comes face-to-face with a twisted twelve-foot version of himself: Behold the Ameridroid! And if that wasn't unusual enough, wait until you see Cap squaring off against...the Lincoln Memorial?! It's a good thing Cap's got Nick Fury and the Super Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on his side - because the Red Skull is back, and he's out for blood! And don't miss a showdown with the Hulk that pits the green-skinned Goliath's brute strength against nothing but Cap's trusty shield and battle-hardened tactical skill! It's a can't-miss Marvel classic!
