Captain America Comics #59

In "The Private Life of Captain America!", a newly discharged Steve Rogers returns to civilian life as a high school teacher, only to find himself unexpectedly confronting a dangerous criminal scheme disguised as a fire emergency. When a student named Snipe is caught with a suspicious perfume bottle, Captain America and Bucky uncover a plot where children are unwittingly used to deliver timed incendiary devices—posing as firemen to rob buildings. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by George Klein, this 1946 issue features a rare origin retelling in its first 2.75 pages and a cover by Syd Shores that captures the story’s mix of wartime heroism and schoolyard drama.
