Product Description:
In this thought-provoking original graphic novel, a world-class collection of top comic-book creators from around the globe presents a series of uniquely personal visions of the heroic icon that is Captain America! Red,White & Blue roams between the humorous and the serious, the farcical and the personal invoking the power people give over to Captain America. In all, more than 50 creators have crafted timeless stand-alone stories each told with a color palette limited to Cap's signature colors of red, white and blue! In addition to these original short stories, this anthology reprints the back-up stories in Captain America #50 (2002) And Marvel Spotlight: Captain America Remembered.

A compendium of different stories featuring several writers and artists.
This doesn't work for me. Most of the artwork featured here is goofy and experimental and frankly, too short. One huge chunk of the book features a text discussion and description on the death of Cap America which is really not part of a comic book.
This is Captain America in Heavy Metal style, acting more like a showcase for different sages out there.

This deluxe celebration of Captain America, in all his red-white-&-blue glory, features contributions by dozens of top comicbook artists, including Paul Dini and Alex Ross, Frank Quitely, Max Allan Collins, Bill Sienkiewicz, David Lloyd and others.

This book made me fall in love with comics all over again after about a 15 year absence (the release of the horrible G.I. Joe #50).
If Marvel put out a hardcover book like this 'bout Cap every year I would buy it the day it was released.
I love its "catalogue" feel. Like a Cap sampler. There's probably 2 chapters I could live without. The rest are pure joy.
I also highly recommend Captain America- The New Deal.

Artwork is not the best. Cannot be compared to that of The Best of Spiderman Hardcover.

This was a nice collection of stories. I especially enjoyed Evan Dorkin's humorous contribution. The reprints were unecessary. Any Cap collector worth his salt has them already. Why not give us two more original stories? Or if you MUST reprint something, why not reprint Joe Simon/Jack Kirby's original Cap stories? Or some 40's or 50's stories we've rarely seen?
The original stories here, however, are stellar. Worth the asking price for a nice hardcover.
