“The Yellow Claw Strikes”

In "The Yellow Claw Strikes," Captain America and Sam Wilson are drawn into a dangerous game when Nick Fury warns them of the villain's return—only for the Claw's mind games to twist reality, leaving Steve seemingly responsible for Fury's apparent death. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Frank McLaughlin’s inks, this 1973 issue delivers a tense, shadowy mystery where loyalty is tested and the line between truth and illusion blurs.
