A very solid collection of Captain America stories from issues #247-#260 and among my favorite overall Cap stories along with the Brubaker run. The team of Roger Stern and John Byrne forged thr first nine terrific issues having our hero face off against such foes as Baron Strucker ( with a nice twist), Dragon Man, Machinesmith, Batroc, Hyde, and Baron Blood. Great stuff! My favorite was the two parter against Blood in #253-#254.
We get Cap’s “run” for president in #250 and a definitive origin retelling in #255. After that, a creative team carousel but each story was pretty decent.
The real shame was Stern/Byrne not getting a chance at a planned but canned Red Skull three-part story which would have been epic.

A solid run for Captain America here especially the Stern and Byrne issues.

This is an excellent collection, by and large.
After the Roger Stern & John Byrne collaboration, the series suffers from inconsistent art teams until Mike Zeck comes on board. The following volume will be epic!
This volume is very well crafted stories: Cap getting his support cast developed further, a love-interest in Bernie Rosenthal, good use of the Avengers as background but not cross-overs, and certainly an excellent rogue’s gallery. Baron Strucker, Machinesmith, Dragon Man, Batroc, Mr Hyde, and more.
The use of the Presidential Election was well done also (remember these stories are from 1980).
Also well-done are the flashbacks to Cap’s earlier life and adventures.
If only the transitional issues were more consistant, this could have rated Five Stars.

Captain America is back in action, thanks to the team of Roger Stern and John Byrne (for the most part). Plenty of action, some decent moralizing, and some really clever twists in the plots all add up to an entertaining collection. Oh, and Steve Rogers gets a new girlfriend!
