Marvel Treasury Special Featuring Captain America's Bicentennial Battles #1
In "Mister Buda!!! [Chapter One]," Captain America is thrust into a dizzying series of historical moments—from a World War I dogfight to the Chicago fire and the first atomic bomb test—each linked by a mysterious encounter with Mister Buda. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Herb Trimpe, John Verpoorten, John Romita, and Dan Adkins, and colored by Phil Rachelson, this 1976 Marvel Treasury Special blends time travel and historical drama in a unique, visually rich adventure. The cover, a collaborative effort by Kirby, Severin, and Romita with inks by Giacoia and Severin, captures the story’s bold, otherworldly tone.
