Captain America #34

Captain America is caught dead-center in a torrent of what looks like molten, tentacle-like energy erupting from the cracked ground beneath him — a striking image from Dan Jurgens and Art Thibert that radiates both peril and defiance. The star-spangled Avenger braces against the cascading surge, his blue-and-red uniform vivid against the fiery orange blast that dominates the entire cover. "Cache is King!" promises something formidable waiting inside this 2000 Marvel issue, and the cover alone makes a compelling case to find out what.
