Tomb of Darkness #21
In "The Day before Doomsday!", the Red Skull launches a desperate bid to seize control of the U.S. ahead of the bicentennial, wielding the Cosmic Cube to summon Captain America to his side. With Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Mike Esposito’s sharp inks bringing the clash to life, the battle of wits and wills reaches a bizarre twist when Captain America—ever the unorthodox hero—throws the Cube off balance with a Hostess Twinkie. The cover by Larry Lieber and Tom Palmer captures the moment with a classic Marvel flair.
