☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of the Marvel Masterworks series collects Captain America #150-168, plus material from Incredible Hulk #232 and Captain America Annual #3-4. It features the conclusion of the 'Secret Empire' storyline and the introduction of the Falcon as a regular partner, with stories by Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema. The collection also includes the classic 'Captain America No More' arc, where Steve Rogers briefly abandons his shield and identity.
In "Enter: Solarr!", Steve Rogers faces a new kind of challenge—not just from a powerful, sun-powered foe, but from the growing rift between him and Sam Wilson, whose trust in Cap’s judgment is tested when Steve’s enhanced strength turns a battle into a one-sided display. Meanwhile, Sharon Carter makes quiet preparations to disappear, her departure shadowed by uncertainty and the weight of secrets left unsaid.
In "...If He Loseth His Soul!", Captain America and the Falcon set aside their growing rift to track down the missing Sharon Carter, who’s been taken by the enigmatic Dr. Faustus. With tensions high and trust still fragile, the duo must navigate a web of deception and danger to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
In "This Way Lies Madness!", Captain America, Falcon, and Sharon find themselves ensnared in a twisted recreation of World War II, orchestrated by the cunning Dr. Faustus. As the past unfolds around them, long-lost memories stir—especially for Peggy Carter, the woman from Cap’s history, whose return brings both hope and danger. With reality bending to Faustus’s design, the trio must confront the line between memory and manipulation before the truth is lost again.
In "Beware of Serpents," Captain America and the Falcon escort Peggy to her home in Virginia, hoping for a quiet reunion as she adjusts to her return. But the newly formed Serpent Squad has other plans, launching a sudden and deadly assault that puts their mission—and Peggy’s safety—in jeopardy.
In "Queen of the Werewolves," Falcon turns to Captain America when an urgent plea comes from an old ally, leading the duo into a perilous hunt through shadowed woods where werewolves, eerily obedient, stalk the night under the command of a striking young woman. With danger closing in and the truth buried in the past, the heroes must unravel a mystery that blurs the line between hunter and hunted.
In "The Yellow Claw Strikes," Nick Fury warns Steve and Sam that the infamous Yellow Claw has resurfaced—though he insists SHIELD handle the threat. But when Captain America returns to New York, he’s drawn into a web of deception and illusion, where the Claw’s cunning traps him in a nightmare that makes it seem as though he’s killed Fury.
In "Night of the Lurking Dead!", Captain America fights to reclaim his mind from the Yellow Claw’s control, only to face a new wave of chaos when Peggy Carter vanishes and his home is lost to him. As he races to find her, the Claw unleashes ancient horrors from the Museum of Natural History—awakening mummies and a forgotten princess—turning the city into a battleground of buried secrets and resurrected threats.
In "Ashes to Ashes," Captain America and the Falcon race against time to stop the Yellow Claw’s sinister scheme, uncovering a chilling connection between an ancient Egyptian spirit and his grandniece Suwan. With Nick Fury recovering and their allies scattered, the heroes must piece together the truth before the Claw’s dark plan reaches its final stage.
In "Bust-Out!", Captain America is sprung from jail by the Sanitation Unit—only to uncover their true allegiance to the villain Harderman. With his name besmirched and a murder charge hanging over him, Cap goes on the run, evading capture while trying to prove his innocence. The Falcon, drawn into the mystery after Iron Man alerts him to Cap’s plight, tracks down the fugitive, only to be ambushed by Moonstone before they can expose the truth.
