In "I Was Captured by the Creature from Krogarr!", Captain America finds himself trapped in a bizarre alien dimension after the Red Skull harnesses the power of the Cosmic Cube to advance his scheme. With the fate of the United States hanging in the balance, Captain America must outwit his foe using nothing but a Hostess Twinkie and sheer determination. Art by Sal Buscema, inks by Mike Esposito, and letters by Irv Watanabe bring the wild adventure to life, while the cover by Larry Lieber and Frank Giacoia captures the story’s otherworldly tension.
