It looks like Mike Zeck is gone for a while from this book. That makes me sad. I do like Sal Buscema, but Zeck is such a unique artist and he brought a special look to Captain America.
Cap and Nomad fight Porcupine, who is a very, very poor man’s Iron Man.
Even though he looks like he’s got the upper hand here…
…he’s pretty easily defeated. He is working for the Secret Empire–a clandestine, “secret” criminal organization from back in the Steve Englehart days.
Meanwhile, Jeff “WW II Captain America when Steve Rogers was presumed dead” Mace dies of cancer.
And Steve gets laid.
