“Turning Point”

Marvel's March 1973 cover for Captain America and the Falcon #159 is a striking, kinetic image — Captain America at the center of the chaos, shield raised, ensnared by vine-like tendrils while a green-costumed villain and a lion-maned foe press the attack, with a purple figure lurking at the right edge. The Falcon swoops in calling "Hang tough, Cap — I'm comin'!", while a boastful Cap declares himself "stronger than ever," setting up the promise of "Turning Point!" at the bottom. Cover pencils by Sal Buscema — also handling inks alongside George Roussos — give the composition a muscular, action-packed energy that perfectly captures the dual-hero dynamic at the heart of Steve Englehart's run.
