“Bust-Out!”

In "Bust-Out!", Captain America is sprung from jail by the mysterious Sanitation Unit—only to discover they’re working for the corrupt Harderman. With his name besmirched and a murder charge hanging over him, Cap goes on the run, pursued by forces both political and personal. Meanwhile, the Falcon and Black Panther race to rescue Leila from Stoneface, and when Iron Man reveals the shocking truth about Cap’s arrest, the Falcon sets out to find his friend—only to be ambushed by Moonstone before they can expose the conspiracy. Written by Steve Englehart and Mike Friedrich, with dynamic art by Sal Buscema and inks by V. Colletta, this 1974 classic features a cover by John Romita and Tony Mortellaro.
