“Death, Where Is Thy Sting?”

In "Death, Where Is Thy Sting?", Captain America faces a chilling psychological test when Machinesmith deploys a cadre of robots to manipulate him into questioning his own worth and purpose. Written by John Byrne and Roger Stern, with art by Byrne and inks by Joe Rubinstein, the issue blends intense internal conflict with high-stakes action, all rendered in vivid color by Sharen and lettered by Jim Novak. The cover, by Byrne and Rubinstein, captures the moment of crisis with stark precision.
