“Captain America -- Hero or Hoax?”

In "Captain America — Hero or Hoax?", Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema deliver a tense, character-driven story that puts Captain America’s ideals to the test. When Nick Fury questions Steve’s judgment and a rift forms between them, tensions flare—especially after Sharon leaves SHIELD, and Falcon confronts Cap over a disturbing incident on the streets. With Bucky caught in the middle, the clash of principles reaches a boiling point. The cover by Sal Buscema, Frank Giacoia, and Marie Severin captures the moment’s intensity, a 20-cent comic from 1972 that marks a pivotal chapter in Cap’s legacy.
