Captain America: Bicentennial Battles #[nn]
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.
