In a chilling twist on the American superhero’s legacy, a young student named Uli is caught reading Captain America Comics #1 in a German school—only to be confronted by the Red Skull, now the headmaster. Forced to carry out a brutal act, Uli is handed a Mauser and told to kill the one who gave him the comic, leading to a shocking moment of violence. This powerful origin story, written by Paul Pope and Nick Bertozzi and illustrated by Pope with bold, expressive art, reimagines Captain America’s mythos through a dark, historical lens. The cover by Brian Stelfreeze captures the story’s tense, foreboding atmosphere.
