Captain America Theater of War: Prisoners of Duty #1

This 2010 Marvel one-shot drops Captain America into the grim heart of World War II, with cover art by Mirco Pierfederici depicting two figures in the star-spangled uniform leaping through a night raid on a Nazi-flagged fortification — bullets and debris flying as gunfire erupts from the battlements above. The dynamic composition, with one Cap hurling his fists forward and another bracing behind the iconic shield, immediately signals a story steeped in wartime desperation and sacrifice. Writers Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel team with artist Agustín Padilla and colorist Giulia Brusco for what promises to be a tense, grounded chapter in the Theater of War anthology series.
