The Essential Captain America, Volume 2 is a collection of illustrated, black-and-white reprints of late 1960's Captain America stories. Featured is some of the finest artwork ever throughout the history of Marvel Comics (and contemporary art, for that matter).
At the forefront of this publication are the Renaissance-like contributions of the great Jim Steranko, whose frame-by-frame sequencing seemed to present a near motion picture on each page. Effective were these visual layouts in ... Read More

This has to rank as one of my favorite comic collections of all time! Each issue is scripted by Stan Lee with art by Jack Kirby, John Romita, John Buscema, Joe Sinnott, Jim Steranko and Gene Colan! Within these collected issues Captain America battles the Red Skull, MODOK and Hydra and we see the debut of Cap's long-time partner the Falcon.

Some of the best artists in the history of comics: Jack Kirby,Jim Steranko, Gene Colan,and others; are represented here with some of their finest work. Some of the issues reprinted sell for a higher price for that very reason. Stan Lee wrote all the stories(1968-1970)sticking with this title after he reliquished others he had created; his dramatic portayal demonstrates the genuine affection he had for the character. In this volume, he also creates the Falcon, who was the second black super-hero, the first ... Read More
