Captain America #8
"La révolution" marks a standout moment in Captain America's 1980 run, blending Cold War paranoia with sci-fi intrigue in a story written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Gene Colan’s moody interior art, with Paul Reinman’s inks and Bill Everett’s colors adding depth. When a man discovers a crashed alien spacecraft and deciphers a log hinting at shape-shifting infiltration, his warning to the Space Agency takes a chilling turn—only to unravel in a twist that redefines who the real threat might be. The cover, by John Romita, captures the tension with a striking, shadowed portrait of Captain America in silhouette.
In "Pourquoi?", a man stumbles upon a crashed spaceship and discovers a log suggesting the alien was meant to take on an earthling form upon arrival. When he alerts the Space Agency, the scientist he meets—Professor Crater—draws a gun, sparking suspicion. But as the truth unfolds, the man realizes the log was written in a language he can now read, and the horrifying implication is that he may be the one who was supposed to become human all along.
