Captain America #4

Part of the acclaimed Waid-Garney run, this April 1998 issue of Captain America charges forward with real energy — and the cover makes the most of it. Ron Garney depicts Steve Rogers bursting through a burst of golden light, fists clenched and shield raised, with shattered machinery and gears swirling in the green-tinted background, projecting pure forward momentum. "Capmania" promises exactly the kind of determined, no-nonsense heroism that made this creative team such a strong match for the Star-Spangled Avenger.
