AAFES 11th Edition [Captain America: The First Avenger] #11
"Electric Nightmare" delivers a poignant, self-contained tale set before Operation: Market Garden, where a young soldier finds unexpected courage reading a Captain America comic—its story of a Symkarian scientist attempting to turn a village into automatons mirroring the real-world stakes he’s about to face. Written by William Harms and illustrated with stark, atmospheric precision by Shawn Martinbrough, the issue blends wartime tension with a subtle, meta-layer of inspiration, all rendered in striking colors by Felix Serrano and lettered by Dave Sharpe. The cover by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson captures the moment with a tense, cinematic flair.
