Marvel Masterworks: Captain America #15

by J.M. DeMatteis, Mike Zeck (Illustrations)

Collects CAPTAIN AMERICA (1968) #261-269 and ANNUAL #5, and DEFENDERS (1972) #106.

J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck made CAPTAIN AMERICA their own in a celebrated three-year creative collaboration! Theirs is one of the Star-Spangled Avenger's greatest eras - and it begins when a Captain America movie causes Cap to cross paths with a new Nomad, the Ameridroid and the Red Skull! Next, the American Dream comes under assault by an enigmatic force - and in a two-part tale guest-starring Spider-Man, the cyborg S.U.L.T.A.N. sets his sights on Washington, DC! Finally, the Defenders join up with Cap to stop the psychopathic physicist August Masters from embroiling America in a war with the Soviet Union! Plus: Veteran Cap artist Gene Colan returns for a double-sized Annual pitting Steve Rogers against the Constrictor and Samson Scythe!

Reviews

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume contains some of the first Cap stories I ever read, back in the early ‘80s, and as such gets big points for nostalgia value. If there wasn’t a few issues included here that were clearly filler while they tried to nail down a regular creative team, this would be a five star read for me. I will always love Mike Zeck drawing Cap.

This book also features the first appearance of motorcycle superstars Team America! Whatever happened to those guys?

[Brent · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good run with several standout stories.

[John Peel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Captain America continues doing what he does best - taking on opponents of democracy and preaching all the time. Perfectly adequate stories, but nothing particularly outstanding. Mike Zeck supplies nice artwork.
