“Golden Age Thunderbolts”

This 2011 issue leans hard into wartime Americana, with a cover by Joe Quinones that evokes a vintage recruitment poster — complete with the bold call "Your Country Needs You" and a "Join the American Thunderbolts" banner. Captain America stands front and center, shield in hand and ready for action, alongside a gruff, top-hat-wearing figure looming in the foreground and a massive, fur-covered giant visible in the smoky background. Writer Jeff Parker and artist Kev Walker promise a Golden Age adventure that puts a fresh spin on Marvel's most unpredictable team.
