In "Mister Buda!!! [Chapter One]," Captain America is thrust into a dizzying series of historical moments—from a World War I dogfight to the Chicago fire and the first atomic bomb test—each linked by a mysterious encounter with Mister Buda. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Herb Trimpe, John Verpoorten, John Romita, and Dan Adkins, and colored by Phil Rachelson, this 1976 Marvel Treasury Special blends time travel and historical drama in a unique, visually rich adventure. The cover, a collaborative effort by Kirby, Severin, and Romita with inks by Giacoia and Severin, captures the story’s bold, otherworldly tone.

The story unfolds with a blend of historical flair and superhero whimsy, as the Sentinel of Liberty navigates pivotal moments he never meant to influence.

My Fellow Americans! [Chapter Three]
12 pp · Historical, Superhero
Captain America [Steve Rogers]Geronimo

In this time-displaced chapter of Captain America’s Bicentennial Battles, the Sentinel of Liberty stands beside Geronimo, offering a quiet promise of a future America he may never see—just before the warrior’s final stand. Amid the echoes of history, Captain America also turns his resolve to saving trapped miners, proving that courage and compassion cross even the boundaries of time.

Stop Here for Glory! [Chapter Four]
26 pp · Historical, Superhero
Captain America [Steve Rogers]Mister BudaJohn L. SullivanJohn BrownGeneral Halstead

In "Stop Here for Glory!
