Captain America #288

In "Mazes!", Captain America finds himself navigating a web of deception and hidden agendas, all while the editorial team takes an unexpected break. Written by Jim Shooter, this 1983 issue features a playful meta moment with a cartoon ad between pages 21 and 22, hinting at the assistant editors stepping in—adding a quirky, behind-the-scenes twist to the story. The cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty captures the tension with sharp, dynamic lines.
