Captain America: The Man with No Face

In this single-issue Marvel one-shot from 2009, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Luke Ross deliver a tight, espionage-flavored Captain America story that deepens the shadowy mythology of the Red Skull. Set during Brubaker’s acclaimed run, it explores the Skull’s sinister legacy and the brutal cost of Steve Rogers’ war on terror. A sharp, self-contained entry that enriches the larger saga without overstaying its welcome.
