In "Cul-de-Sac!", Steve Rogers faces a crisis that forces him to confront the echoes of his past as he steps into the spotlight of the Hour of the Hero. Written by Don Glut, Steve Gerber, and David Kraft, with dynamic art by Sal Buscema and M. Esposito, this 1978 issue captures Cap at a turning point—pencil and ink by Gil Kane, inks by Tony DeZuniga on the cover.
