Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #7

The cover of this March 1999 issue — with pencils by Ron Frenz and inks by Roger Langridge — drops Captain America squarely into the American Revolutionary War, shield raised and a rope-bound flagpole in his fist, a tattered Stars and Stripes billowing behind him against a sky lit by cannon bursts. Colonial soldiers with muskets charge through the underbrush at his feet, and the cover's bold proclamation — "The Battle Begins… in 1781!?" — makes clear this is no ordinary mission. Brian K. Vaughan's story, "When Free Men Shall Stand!", promises a time-spanning adventure that puts the Sentinel of Liberty right where his name was born.
