Captain America #143

A towering, robed figure dominates this November 1971 cover as Captain America and the Falcon reel back in genuine shock — their exclamations of "It can't be!" and "It isn't possible — not him!" crackling with drama. John Romita's bold linework makes the duo's alarm completely convincing, with Cap clutching his shield and Falcon's wings spread wide against a burst of golden energy. Titled "Power to the People," this issue promises a confrontation that clearly rattles two of Marvel's most capable heroes right to their core.
