Captain America: No Escape

During the 2011 Marvel run of Captain America: No Escape, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Butch Guice deliver a taut, single-issue thriller that finds the Sentinel of Liberty trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse. This standalone story, part of Brubaker’s acclaimed tenure on the character, showcases Captain America’s resourcefulness and resolve as he faces an inescapable situation. A concise but potent entry in the Captain America mythos, it exemplifies the espionage-tinged, high-stakes storytelling that defined Brubaker’s era.
