Captain America #339

Part of Marvel's 1988 "Fall of the Mutants" crossover event, this tie-in issue puts a red-and-black-costumed hero front and center as he braces against a massive, snarling yellow mechanical beast bearing down on him — with a wild-haired figure in pink riding atop it, arms outstretched. The cover, penciled by Ron Frenz and inked by Bob McLeod, delivers a great sense of charging momentum and real danger across a scorched rural landscape. "America the Scorched!" promises an intense chapter from the creative team of Mark Gruenwald and Kieron Dwyer that fits squarely into one of the Marvel Universe's most turbulent crossover moments.
