“Face de pierre”

"Face de pierre" marks a standout moment in Captain America's 1979 run, pairing Stan Lee’s sharp storytelling with Gene Colan’s moody interiors and Tom Palmer’s precise inks. In this gripping tale, Captain America and the Falcon take on Dr. Erik Gorbo—a SHIELD scientist turned monstrous gorilla—whose transformation sets off a dangerous rampage. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, captures the tension with a bold, iconic image.
