Omega the Unknown #3
In "Burn While You Learn!", the Red Skull launches a desperate bid to seize control of the U.S. ahead of the bicentennial, wielding the Cosmic Cube with terrifying precision. With Captain America trapped in a surreal battle of wills, the fate of the nation hangs in the balance—until a Twinkie becomes the most unlikely weapon of all. Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, inked by Mike Esposito and lettered by Irv Watanabe, brings the chaos to life, while Gil Kane’s cover captures the moment of peak tension, and Frank Giacoia’s inks lend it a sharp, urgent edge.
