Transformed by the Super-Soldier Serum from a 97-pound weakling into the Sentinel of Liberty, Steve Rogers led the charge to liberate the world from the Axis Powers. But before the war's end, an accident left Cap frozen in suspended animation! When the Avengers resuscitated him decades later, Steve Rogers was greeted by a world vastly changed. He was a man out of time, tormented by the loss of his partner Bucky - but no less committed to the cause of fighting evil in all its forms, including Baron Zemo, M.O.D.O.K., the Super-Adaptoid and his returning archnemesis, the Red Skull! Collecting CAPTAIN AMERICA (1968) #100-113 and material from TALES OF SUSPENSE (1959) #59-99 and NOT BRAND ECHH #3.Writer\/editor Stan Lee (1922-2018) made comic-book history together with Jack Kirby   in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental popularity of its new style inspired Lee to   develop similarly themed characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with   Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with   Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues — in   some cases a hundred or more — Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he   maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into   a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in   Marvel’s films established Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917 to   Jewish-Austrian parents on New York’s Lower East Side, Jack Kirby came of age at the birth   of the American comic book industry. Beginning his career during the rising   tide of Nazism, Kirby and fellow artist Joe Simon created the patriotic hero   Captain America. Cap’s exploits on the comic book page entertained millions   of American readers at home and inspired U.S. troops fighting the enemy   abroad. When World War II ended, the public’s interest in super heroes waned;   Kirby turned his artistic talents during the 1950s to other genres, such as   monsters, Westerns and crime — as well as the first-of-its-kind Young Romance Comics. In 1961, Kirby   returned to super heroes to illustrate what would become the defining issue   in Marvel Comics history: Fantastic Four #1. Written by Stan Lee, the team’s debut revolutionized the   industry overnight. In contrast to the staid artwork of his predecessors,   Kirby’s illustrations seemed to leap off the page with eye-popping action and   drama. For the next decade, Kirby and Lee would introduce a mind-boggling   array of new characters — including the Avengers, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man,   the Silver Surfer and the X-Men. Taken together, Kirby’s groundbreaking work   with Lee formed the foundation of the Marvel Universe. In the early 1970s,   Kirby moved to DC Comics, where his boundless creativity continued. He   returned to Marvel in 1975, writing and illustrating Captain America and introducing his   final major concept, the Eternals. With the explosion of TV animation during   the 1980s, Kirby’s talents turned to the small screen. Comic fans quickly   recognized his work on such series as Thundarr the   Barbarian and Turbo   Teen. Kirby died in 1994, but his influence on the   comic book industry is as strong as ever. His work has inspired a generation   of professional artists and modern writers who continue to explore his vast   universe of concepts and characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJim Steranko has earned status as one of   the most influential comic book artists of all time. The design sensibility   he brought to late-’60s runs on Nick Fury, Agent   of S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain   America and The X-Men rocked the comic-book world with a revolutionary narrative   approach. Leaving regular work in comics in 1970, he pursued his creative   zeal in boundless fashion with his illustrations adorning countless science   fiction and fantasy novels, film posters, and record album covers. As a   historian, his two volumes of The History of   Comics remain a definitive resource for scholars,   while as an escape artist, his death-defying performances inspired the   character Mister Miracle and the protagonist of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier \u0026amp; Klay. His film industry magazine Prevue enjoyed an impressive 25-year run. Collaborations with George   Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Tim Burton and other   filmmakers have produced iconic characters and design. Steranko was inducted   into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2006.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303092474085,"sku":"NP9781302957996","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302957995_269a0ef4-2004-42b6-b6a2-298873d263e4.jpg?v=1730753036","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/captain-america-omnibus-vol-1-new-printing-2-isbn-9781302957996","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
