About this Collection

This Epic Collection volume brings together Captain America stories from the early 1980s, centering on a controversial storyline where the Red Skull manipulates public opinion to turn America against its own hero. The collection features Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson as the Falcon, with Johann Shmidt pulling the strings in a tale of political intrigue and super-soldier action.

In "The Coming of the Nomad!", Steve Englehart and John Warner deliver a pulse-pounding twist as the Red Skull unveils Sam Wilson’s shocking past—revealing he was once a thief known only as "Snap" Wilson, manipulated by the Cosmic Cube into becoming the Falcon. Frank Robbins’ dynamic art, sharpened by Mike Esposito and Frank Giacoia’s inks, brings the high-stakes clash to life, while Gil Kane’s iconic cover captures the tension of a hero caught between identities.
