“Sermon of Straw”

In "Sermon of Straw," Captain America faces off against the Scarecrow, who's targeting members of an advertising agency eager to co-opt the patriotic symbol for their campaign. With Mike Zeck’s striking interior art and John Beatty’s sharp inks bringing the tension to life, writer J. M. DeMatteis crafts a gripping tale where ideals clash with manipulation. The cover by Zeck and Beatty captures the eerie intensity of the threat looming over the agency’s world.
