Captain America Comics #1
The Sentinel of Liberty bursts onto the scene for the very first time as Captain America debuts in CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1, a Golden Age classic from 1941!

The cover says it all: "Captain America Lives Again!" In one of the all-time classic rebirths in comics history, the Star-Spangled Sentinel of Liberty defrosts from decades trapped in any icy suspended state of animation—immediately melting the hearts of Marvel fans worldwide. The mighty Avengers rescue Cap, enlist him into their ranks and thus began his stunning return from Golden Age glory. Chalk this issue up to one of the many reasons why Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are industry giants.
Captain America #100At last, Captain America gets his own ongoing series in the Silver Age as the Marvel dream team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby takes the ashes of TALES OF SUSPENSE and ignites CAPTAIN AMERICA #100!

Captain America #1
Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting brought Captain America into a bold new era of storytelling in 2005 and it all started in CAPTAIN AMERICA #1.
