“America the Cursed!”

In "America the Cursed!", Captain America, Nomad, and Gail Runciter are trapped and incapacitated by Viper, with only Dum Dum Dugan—frail and on the brink of a heart attack—and the anxious Constrictor to rely on as Viper’s sinister plan to unleash the Bubonic Plague looms. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life with intense precision by Mike Zeck (pencils) and John Beatty (inks), this 1983 Marvel thriller delivers a pulse-pounding blend of Cold War paranoia and personal peril, with a cover by Zeck and Beatty that captures the dread of the moment.
