In a world on the brink, the U.S. Army races to find a hero to stand against the Axis Powers—only to discover a secret serum capable of forging a super-soldier. When the experiment is destroyed, one man, Steve Rogers, becomes the last hope, transformed into Captain America.

In "Case No. 2," Captain America and Bucky race to uncover the link between a surge of sabotage at U.S. defense plants and a mysterious, unassuming man who claimed it would happen—before the next attack strikes.

In "The Chess Board of Death," a mysterious villain has set a deadly game in motion, carving wooden figures of his intended victims—each a life to be erased before a global blitzkrieg begins. But when Captain America and Bucky are among the pieces marked for removal, the fate of the world hinges on a battle of wits and courage where every move could be their last.

In this 2011 adventure from the Captain America Comics #1: 70th Anniversary Special, a mysterious survivor named Ak shares a haunting tale of the hairless ones who once came to the jungle, leaving behind only whispers and scars.
