Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #12

The "Spectacular Last Issue!" banner makes this August 1999 finale of Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty something to remember, with cover pencils by Dougie Braithwaite delivering a striking send-off. Cap charges forward, shield raised and fist cocked, while a grinning Bucky races alongside him — and looming ominously in the background is a massive, shadowy skull figure that sets a genuinely foreboding tone. The cover's bold promise of "The Return of Bucky!" alongside the story title "Brothers in Arms" makes this a fitting and energetic cap to the series run.
