Includes Roger Stern and John Byrne’s complete run, a high watermark for Captain America storytelling!

Pop culture might have gone from disco to punk to new wave during the four-year run of stories collected in this Omnibus extravaganza, but one man remained as red, white and blue as ever: Steve Rogers, Captain America! After an origin retelling by comics legend Roy Thomas, Cap goes up against the Ameridroid and an brought-to-life Lincoln Memorial! Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. help Cap take on the Red Skull and but he has to go mano-a-Hulko against Marvel’s incredible green-skinned engine of destruction! Later, Cap finds himself embroiled in a gang war that puts him at odds with the Punisher. This era’s Captain America winds up with Roger Stern and John Byrne’s timeless run featuring Baron Blood—and a presidential run?!?

COLLECTING: Captain America (1968) #215-260; Incredible Hulk (1968) #232; Marvel Premiere (1972) #49; material from What If? (1977) #5, 26

Written by Roger Mckenzie & Roger Stern With Roy Thomas, Don Glut, Scott Edelman, Steve Gerber, David Anthony Kraft, Peter B. Gillis, David Michelinie, Jim Shooter, Michael Fleisher, Mark Evanier, Chris Claremont, Alan Kupperberg, Paul Kupperberg, Mike W. Barr, Steven Grant, John Byrne, Bill Mantlo & Al Milgrom
Penciled by Sal Buscema & John Byrne With George Tuska, Dave Cockrum, John Buscema, Bob Budiansky, Steve Leialoha, Mike Zeck, Fred Kida, Alan Kupperberg, Frank Springer, Don Perlin, Rich Buckler, Carmine Infantino, Jerry Bingham, Gene Colan, Lee Elias & Herb Trimpe
Roger Stern enjoyed well-regarded runs on Amazing Spider-Man, in which he introduced Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and the Hobgoblin; Avengers; and Captain America. He launched West Coast Avengers and wrote numerous tie-in miniseries starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. At DC, he relaunched Atom and co-created Starman (Will Payton) before participating in one of comics’ most shocking events: the 1992 “Death of Superman.” He later returned to Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man and related titles.

John Byrne has worked continuously in the comics industry as both writer and artist since 1975. After he initially collaborated with writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still regarded as one of the title’s finest. Byrne contributed an equally famed stint on Fantastic Four, earning comparisons to the original Lee/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also spun Alpha Flight into its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC’s flagship hero, Superman, reimagining the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time magazine cover. His remarkable contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to memorable associations with virtually every major hero, including celebrated runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational She-Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne’s considerable body of work includes IDW’s Star Trek and Angel.

After a start as inker to his older brother John, Sal Buscema penciled Captain America, Defenders, Incredible Hulk and more. Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his talents across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms. Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman’s first appearance in Marvel Spotlight. He was the uninterrupted artist on Spectacular Spider-Man for more than a hundred issues and penciled the web-slinger’s adventures in Marvel Team-Up, in which he and writer Bill Mantlo introduced Captain Jean DeWolff. After handling more team-ups in the Thing’s Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with brother John on Steve Englehart’s Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom DeFalco’s Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.
