Captain America: First Vengeance

Marvel’s Captain America: First Vengeance (2011–present) is a four-issue miniseries bridging the gap between the character’s cinematic debut and his World War II origins, written primarily by Fred Van Lente with art by Luke Ross, Andy Smith, and Richard Elson. It expands on Steve Rogers’ transformation into Captain America and his early missions with the Howling Commandos, offering a deeper look at the war-era setting that defined his legacy. While a tie-in to the film universe, it stands as a focused, action-driven companion piece that enriches the character’s foundational mythos.
