Captain America #315

In "The Hard Sell," Captain America finds himself caught in a twisted game of deception when the Serpent Society captures the corpse of Modok for AIM. Porcupine, desperate to leave his life of villainy behind, tries to sell his costume to Cap—only to be drawn into a trap where Cap pretends to be captured to expose the Society. Written by Gruenwald and illustrated by Neary, with inks by Janke and colors by Feduniewicz, this 1986 issue features a tense, character-driven showdown that ends in tragedy. The cover, by Neary and Guice, captures the moment of peril with sharp, dramatic flair.
