These stories, produced by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, follow Steve Rogers as he battles foes like the Red Skull and the Mad Bomb, while also grappling with the social upheaval of the era. The hardcover edition includes restored artwork and historical bonus features typical of the Masterworks line.
In "When Wakes the Sleeper!", Captain America faces a city in chaos when the Hulk goes on a rampage through New York, forcing Cap to confront the limits of control and the weight of responsibility. With Rick Jones by his side—now officially his partner after a daring rescue and a clash with HYDRA’s plot to poison the city’s water—Cap must guide a young hero through his first true test of courage. This landmark 2006 Marvel Masterworks issue, written by Jim Steranko and Stan Lee and illustrated by Steranko with inks by Joe Sinnott, features dynamic art and a pivotal moment in Cap’s legacy, with the cover by Jim Steranko capturing the intensity of the moment.
In "No Longer Alone!", Captain America faces a city in chaos when the Hulk goes on a rampage through New York, forcing him to confront the limits of his own strength and the danger Rick Jones still faces. With Rick determined to prove himself, even as Cap hesitates, the two forge an unexpected bond—until a HYDRA plot threatens the city’s water supply, testing their new partnership in the fire of battle.
In "Tomorrow You Live, Tonight I Die!", Steve Rogers faces a chilling mystery when his protégé Rick is abducted after receiving a cryptic, drugged message. As Cap battles HYDRA assassins and a Man-Killer robot in a desperate stand, Rick fights through a surreal hallucination to warn him—forcing Cap to confront the truth about Rick’s resolve and the shocking identity of the man he thought he knew.
In "The Strange Death of Captain America," the world mourns Steve Rogers after a shocking public demise, but the truth is far more intricate. As HYDRA’s Madame Hydra plots her rise, the Avengers gather for a somber wake—only to be ambushed by a deadly gas attack. Just as Rick is cornered at the cemetery, Captain America reappears on a motorcycle, leading a desperate fight that ends in a dramatic explosion. The story leaves readers with a thrilling revelation: Steve Rogers faked his death to reclaim a secret identity, but how he’ll navigate this new chapter remains uncertain.
