“To Tame a Tumbler!”

In "To Tame a Tumbler!", Captain America teams up with the newly introduced Tumbler to uncover a shocking conspiracy: Guardian Life Insurance has been covering supervillains all along, with no intention of paying out claims. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic art, with Jack Abel’s inks and Andy Yanchus’s colors, this 1984 Marvel classic sees Steve Rogers navigating moral gray areas as he tries to guide the Tumbler toward redemption—while the truth behind the insurance scheme begins to unravel. The cover by John Byrne captures the tension perfectly.
