☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Marvel Treasury Edition reprints the 2021 one-shot 'Captain America's Bicentennial Battles,' a standalone story celebrating America's 245th birthday. Written by J. Michael Straczynski with art by Jesus Saiz, the oversized issue pits Captain America against a mysterious new threat tied to the nation's past, blending patriotic themes with superhero action. The collection presents the complete story in a larger format, highlighting the detailed artwork and commemorative tone of the original release.
In "Mister Buda!!! [Chapter One]," Captain America is flung across time and space in a dizzying sequence of encounters—from a World War I dogfight to a tense chat with Mister Buda, a boxing match with John Sullivan, aiding a fugitive slave, witnessing the first atomic test, and surviving the Chicago fire, all before a final return to Buda. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Herb Trimpe, John Verpoorten, John Romita, and Dan Adkins, and colors by Phil Rachelson, this issue is a whirlwind of historical moments rendered in Kirby’s signature dynamic style. The cover, a collaborative effort by Kirby, Marie Severin, and John Romita, with inks by Frank Giacoia and Severin, captures the chaos and wonder of the journey.
In "The Lost Super-Hero! [Chapter Two]," Captain America finds himself pulled through time to 1776, where his presence subtly shapes history by inspiring Betsy Ross in the creation of the American flag. Later, he crosses paths with a young newsboy in 1930s New York, stepping in to protect him from a gang of street thugs.
In this time-displaced chapter of *Captain America: Bicentennial Battles*, Captain America finds himself alongside Geronimo, offering a solemn promise of a future brotherhood while facing the looming shadow of defeat—then turns his focus to saving trapped miners from a collapsing cave-in.
In "Stop Here for Glory! [Chapter Four]," Captain America is flung through pivotal moments in American history—from a World War I dogfight to the chaos of the Chicago fire—each encounter testing his resolve and sense of purpose. With no warning and no control, he crosses paths with figures like John Sullivan and a fugitive slave, always stepping in where help is needed, until he’s pulled back to a bewildered Mister Buda, still searching for answers in the echoes of the past.
In "The Face of the Future! [Chapter Five]" from *Captain America: Bicentennial Battles*, Captain America is thrust into a surreal clash on the moon and a dazzling Hollywood musical, all while uncovering a deeper truth about America’s future through the eyes of children. The story blends sci-fi spectacle with unexpected heart, weaving together past, present, and what might come.
