“Beware of Serpents!”

In "Beware of Serpents!", Captain America and the Falcon accompany Peggy to her Virginia home as she adjusts to her sudden return from the dead, only to be ambushed by the newly formed Serpent Squad. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art—penciled and inked with precision, and colored by Petra Goldberg—this 1973 issue delivers a tense, action-packed clash with a team of villains whose motives remain shrouded in mystery. The cover by Sal Buscema and John Verpoorten captures the moment of confrontation with sharp, dramatic flair.
