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.

A man finds a crashed spaceship and reads the log which shows that the alien was to take the form of an earthling when he lands. The man goes to the Space Agency to warn them but the person he talks to (Professor Crater) pulls a gun on him. The man assumes that Professor Crater must be the alien but then finds out that the log is written in another language so he must be the alien and he has helped himself to be caught.
