Captain America (3rd Series)

    (Marvel, 1998-2002)
™ and ©1997 Marvel Characters, Inc.

Captain America has been around the block a few times. Since Private Steve Rogers swallowed that super-soldier formula in the secret lab of Dr. Reinstein in 1941, Captain America has fought Nazis, Communists, Hydra, and the Secret Empire; been blown up, frozen solid, thrust headlong into the mid-1960s, and faced off adversity on his own and as a member of the Avengers. But rarely has he had a more daunting challenge than to regain reader faith and credibility after a relaunch at the hands of Rob Liefeld in Captain America (Vol. 2).

Fortunately, the creative team of Mark Waid and Ron Garney are up to the task of breathing new life into this American icon. Waid’s thought-provoking storyline and Garney’s lean, gutsy art draws comparisons to the best work ever done on the character by the likes of Jack Kirby, Jim Steranko and Steve Englehart.
