“Facades!”

In "Facades!", Captain America faces a new threat in the form of the Manipulator, a foe who turns the very fabric of public perception against him. With art by Don Perlin and Joe Sinnott, and colors by George Roussos, this 1980 issue delivers a tense, mind-bending clash where trust is the first casualty—watch as the hero battles not just a villain, but the world itself. The cover by Al Milgrom and Klaus Janson captures the moment’s intensity, setting up a shocking twist that lingers long after the final page.
