Captain America #161

In "…If He Loseth His Soul!", Captain America and the Falcon set aside their growing rift to track down the missing Sharon Carter, kidnapped by the enigmatic Dr. Faustus. With tensions high and the stakes personal, Steve Englehart’s sharp writing and Sal Buscema’s dynamic art bring a tense, grounded urgency to this pivotal 1973 issue, while Stan Goldberg’s colors and Artie Simek’s lettering lend the story its distinctive, enduring look. The cover by Sal Buscema and John Romita captures the moment’s gravity, hinting at a mystery deeper than the hunt itself.
