Marvel Milestone Edition: Captain America Comics #1 #[nn]

In "Case No. 1 Meet Captain America," a frail young man named Steve Rogers is chosen to become the first super-soldier in a desperate bid to turn the tide against the Axis Powers. With the help of Professor Reinstein and a mysterious government agent, Steve undergoes a transformation that grants him extraordinary strength—only to face a new kind of danger when the project is threatened. As the world teeters on the brink, Steve Rogers steps forward as Captain America, a symbol of hope forged in science and sacrifice.

What connection was there between the wave of sabotage sweeping the U.S. defense industries and a strange little man who predicted it would happen? Captain America and Bucky track the clues through shadowy factories and cryptic warnings, encountering a young scientist named Betty Ross, a mysterious figure known only as Sando, and a quiet man named Omar—each holding a piece of a puzzle that could expose a threat far deeper than sabotage.

In "null," Captain America and Bucky Barnes find themselves targeted by a mysterious enemy who's crafted deadly wooden chess pieces representing their lives—each one a step toward a global blitzkrieg. With Admiral Perkins already fallen and new threats like Sgt. Duffy, Rathcone, Herr Kameleon, and the Strangler emerging from the shadows, the duo must survive a game where every move could be their last.

In "The Riddle of the Red Skull," Captain America and Bucky Barnes confront a chilling new enemy whose terrifying presence drives victims to madness—only to vanish without a trace, leaving behind the eerie belief that he’s killed them with a single glance. As the mystery deepens, the duo must unravel the truth behind the Red Skull’s deadly illusion before more lives are lost.
