description: The subject of a secret government experiment, Steve Rogers is transformed from a patriotic but physically weak specimen into a red-white-and-blue super-heroic powerhouse known as Captain America! While the shadow of involvement in World War II casts a pall of fear over a frightened United States, Captain America and his teenage sidekick, Bucky, fight for freedom at home and abroad.The stories collected in this volume continue Captain America's classic WWII adventures, featuring villains and scenarios which embodied the fears and anxieties of an America moving toward entrance into the war. Whether confronting colorful super-villains like the Black Toad, the White Death and his arch-nemesis the Red Skull, or matching wits with foreign agents and saboteurs, Cap and Bucky swashbuckle their way through some of the most creative adventures of the '30s comics world. In fact, these adventures were for years held up to incoming Marvel artists and writers as examples of OHow to Do It Right. O These stories, along with those contained in Volume I of this series, also compete the full run of Captain America Comics collaborated upon by the characters' creators, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.Painstakingly restored and recolored, these classic stories would cost thousands of dollars to collect in their original form. Now, in this inexpensive format, this look back to both an historic era and the birth of a hero whose presence continues to be felt today, is a true find for collectors or casual comics fans alike.
