“The Mercenary and the Madman”

In "The Mercenary and the Madman," Captain America faces a terrifying new threat when Batroc frees Mr. Hyde, unleashing the unstable villain to seize control of New York City using a Roxxon ship as a weapon. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life with dynamic art by John Byrne, this 1980 issue sees Cap pushed to his limits against a foe whose strength and madness defy his usual tactics. The cover by John Byrne captures the clash in bold, striking detail.
