About this Collection
This hardcover collection reprints the earliest adventures of Captain America and Bucky from the 1940s, gathering the first issues of their original series. Featuring the wartime exploits of Steve Rogers and his young sidekick James Buchanan Barnes, these stories showcase the patriotic heroism and Golden Age artistry that defined Marvel's precursor, Timely Comics.
A prehistoric tale of survival and friendship unfolds in "Contents page," a standout story from the Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Captain America #1 (2005). Written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, with art, inks, and letters by Kirby, this early classic features the caveboy Tuk and his unlikely ally Tanir the Cro-Magnon as they face the threat of the brain-eating Goreks. The story, illustrated with Kirby’s dynamic energy, is a gripping origin moment set in a raw, untamed world—perfect for fans of the era’s bold, imaginative storytelling.
