About the series
In this 2006 Marvel one-shot, writer Tony Bedard and artist Carmine DiGiandomenico reimagine the Sentinel of Liberty's origin by asking what if Captain America had been revived decades earlier than his modern-day return. The story explores a world where the star-spangled hero emerges from the ice in the 1960s rather than the 2000s, reshaping the course of Marvel's history in unexpected ways. As part of the long-running "What If" tradition, this issue offers a compact, thought-provoking alternate-history tale that highlights the enduring appeal of Cap's character and the ripple effects of his timeline.
