About the series
In 2005, Marvel Comics released a concise, two-issue Captain America story by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Steve Epting that redefined the character's modern era. This series introduced the haunting return of Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed Soviet assassin from Cap's past. The taut, cinematic narrative set the stage for a major shift in Captain America's world, becoming a foundational text for the character's 21st-century mythology.
