Captain America Epic Collection, Vol. 9, No. 1: Dawn's Early Light
"Roger Stern and John Byrne's run on [Captain America] may have been only nine issues,  but it's an amazingly packed nine issues. The two creators seemed energized rather than intimidated by the character's history, and that comes through in the way in which they present Cap: clear-headed, direct, and never anything less than the greatest hero he could be."-- Graeme McMillan"Stern and Byrne would bring Cap to Great Britain [for] a reunion of sorts with war-time allies, and a bout with the supernatural. Frankly, the entirety of their run is noteworthy."-- Bob Reyer"Batroc the Leaper, Mister Hyde, and Baron Blood were all temporarily elevated to A-list status after Stern and Byrne were finished with them ...  [but] the real highlight wasCaptain America#250,  where Cap briefly contemplated a Presidential run. In an era where big business was running unregulated and actors were masquerading as politicians, this issue served as succinct commentary for the state of the country. It's the perfect blend of intelligence and fantasy."-- Jason Serafino"The first five pages alone will convince you that [Roger] Stern is one of the best there is at capturing a hero's awesomeness ... Stern is a master at showing, as opposed to telling, just how good and capable a superhero is." --Duy Tano
