Captain America The 1940s Newspaper Strip #3

In this gripping chapter of the 1940s newspaper strip, Captain America and Bucky face a chilling threat as the Red Skull commandeers S.A.M., the robot created by Dr. Smythe, turning it against them. When the battle takes a devastating turn, Betsy Ross is gravely injured—only a desperate act by Miss Vinegar offers a fleeting hope for her survival. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated by Kesel and Rich Ellis, with inks by Kesel and colors by Ben Dimagmaliw, the issue captures the tension and heart of the era’s heroism. The cover by Butch Guice perfectly frames the moment’s intensity.
