Captain America Sentinel of Liberty #[nn]
Standing atop a rocky peak against a blazing orange sky, Captain America holds aloft the American flag in one hand and his shield in the other — a triumphant image rendered with real confidence by cover artist Dave Cockrum. This 1979 Simon and Schuster hardcover brings Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's telling of Cap's origin story together in a handsome $4.95 package worthy of any shelf. It's a fine way to experience one of Marvel's most enduring characters in a format that gives the material room to breathe.

The Avengers happen upon a figure frozen in the ocean depths, hurled there by an enraged Sub-Mariner. They are astonished to discover the man is alive and recognize him as the long-missing Captain America. Cap relates his last moments 20 years earlier when he and partner Bucky tried to stop an explosive-filled drone plane from taking off. Bucky was killed in the explosion, but Cap plunged into the ocean, surviving in suspended animation. Cap immediately becomes embroiled in helping the Avengers, encounters an alien and joins them in battle against Namor, accepting their offer to join the team.
