About this Collection

This 1979 Pocket Books collection reprints early Captain America stories from the 1960s, showcasing the Sentinel of Liberty in his classic Silver Age adventures. It compiles key issues from the start of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's iconic run, offering a snapshot of the character's resurgence in the Marvel Universe.

In "Captain America Joins... The Avengers!", a frozen relic from World War II is revealed when Namor's attack on an eskimo village frees Captain America from decades of suspended animation. With the Avengers at his side, Cap joins forces with Rick Jones to track down an alien who's turned the team to stone—only to learn the alien's broken spaceship holds the key to repelling Namor's assault. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by George Roussos and letters by Art Simek, this 1979 adventure brings together legends in a high-stakes cosmic mission. The cover, by John Romita, captures the moment of arrival with bold, dynamic energy.
