Cap has never been a favorite， but Jack Kirby draws no action sequences like a Captain America action sequence。

Fraser Sherman ，

A tricky one to review。 We have Jack Kirby's dynamic action artwork （most of the book is Kirby） and stories pumped up with the melodrama Lee/Kirby could deliver — every adventure is a crisis so bad， we teeter on the edge of total annihilation！ And we have Sharon Carter， one of the few Marvel women of the Silver Age who was more than just a girlfriend （trained SHIELD agent in this case）。But all that said， the stories are a mixed bag。 The first half-dozen （after a couple of stories bringing Cap in A tricky one to review。 We have Jack Kirby's dynamic action artwork （most of the book is Kirby） and stories pumped up with the melodrama Lee/Kirby could deliver — every adventure is a crisis so bad， we teeter on the edge of total annihilation！ And we have Sharon Carter， one of the few Marvel women of the Silver Age who was more than just a girlfriend （trained SHIELD agent in this case）。But all that said， the stories are a mixed bag。 The first half-dozen （after a couple of stories bringing Cap into the present） are just "Captain America beats up a bunch of goons，" then we do some WW II stories， then finally Lee and Kirby settle into the present。 That's when things really get good， but Lee consistently writes Cap as if he were a WW II vet in his late thirties when he's just a kid of maybe 24， tops。 Still the good outweighs the bad。 。。。more

MemoriesThese were much simpler， but the stories remind me of my youth。 It is interesting to see how many story lines and characters were first introduced and then portrayed in the MCU。 It is clear that the movies respect the original characters as they tied all of the movies together。

Well， this certainly took a while。If I had to pick a favourite type of stories， origin stories would be on my top 3 list。 So， no need to explain why I wanted to read this one。 As I was expecting， the origin story arc is fairly entertaining to read but there's not much to this book besides that: all the rest is some random story of Cap and Bucky trying to save the day （or just Cap alone）， without adding much to the character's progress itself。 Only the Red Skull arcs are worth reading because the Well， this certainly took a while。If I had to pick a favourite type of stories， origin stories would be on my top 3 list。 So， no need to explain why I wanted to read this one。 As I was expecting， the origin story arc is fairly entertaining to read but there's not much to this book besides that: all the rest is some random story of Cap and Bucky trying to save the day （or just Cap alone）， without adding much to the character's progress itself。 Only the Red Skull arcs are worth reading because they provide some continuity to the storyline and introduce new characters as well。Can't say I'm not a bit disappointed with this。 。。。more

I gave this book 4 stars out of 5 because I am a huge fan of Marvel movies and this book doesn't disappoint。 This book includes many more stories about Captain America and is connected to the movies。 The book provided lots of information about how Captain America was created and the crimes that he fight。 I really liked how the art was drawn in this book， it helps the readers understand the story more。 The only reason I didn't give this book a 5 out of 5 is that I found reading the order of dialo I gave this book 4 stars out of 5 because I am a huge fan of Marvel movies and this book doesn't disappoint。 This book includes many more stories about Captain America and is connected to the movies。 The book provided lots of information about how Captain America was created and the crimes that he fight。 I really liked how the art was drawn in this book， it helps the readers understand the story more。 The only reason I didn't give this book a 5 out of 5 is that I found reading the order of dialogue in a comic book more difficult than from a novel。 I would recommend this book to anyone readers that are looking for something new， and they don't have to be a fan of Marvel of graphic novels。 。。。more

Es una gran experiencia leer a Stan lee y Jack kirby con el regreso del Capitán América este tomo de Epic Collection agrega historias muy interesantes como el encuentro del capitán con los vengadores， sus aventuras con los comandos aulladores y con su compañero bucky y sus encuentros con Red Skull; llama la atención en este tomo la aparición del cubo cósmico y como solo el Capitán América lucha por evitar que red skull logre controlarlo y dominar el mundo， si bien estamos viendo el dibujo de la Es una gran experiencia leer a Stan lee y Jack kirby con el regreso del Capitán América este tomo de Epic Collection agrega historias muy interesantes como el encuentro del capitán con los vengadores， sus aventuras con los comandos aulladores y con su compañero bucky y sus encuentros con Red Skull; llama la atención en este tomo la aparición del cubo cósmico y como solo el Capitán América lucha por evitar que red skull logre controlarlo y dominar el mundo， si bien estamos viendo el dibujo de la época de los 60， para los que hemos tenido la oportunidad de ver y leer los comics modernos y de años anteriores， podemos apreciar aun mas los inicios， Jack Kirby tiene algo en sus trazos que encanta， los rasgos faciales， las expresiones， los musculos， la expresión de movimientos de los personajes se disfrutan， siempre me pregunte porque la gente ama los comics mas viejos en ves de los nuevos y al leer las primeras historias y apreciar el estilo kirby se vuelve una buena experiencia。 recomiendo leer este tomo cuando ya tengas experiencia en varios comics para que logres apreciar mucho mas este tomo y lo disfrutes como un niño。 YO ME IMAGINO A UN NIÑO DE LOS 60 LEYENDO ESTAS HISTORIAS Y DISFRUTANDOLO COMO SI NOSOTROS ESTUVIÉRAMOS VIENDO UNA SERIE EPICA DE TV。 。。。more

For most people my age and older （I'm 50）， there are THE quintessential Captain America tales 。。。 I was first exposed to them via reprints in the early 1970s Marvel Double Feature title （which collected the best of these stories from the 1960s Tales of Suspense）， and the story beats that thrilled me as a kid are still there as Cap single-handedly takes on A。I。M。， Hydra， the Super-Adaptoid， M。O。D。O。K。， the Red Skull 。。。 you know， the concepts that Marvel continues to plumb in the monthly comics a For most people my age and older （I'm 50）， there are THE quintessential Captain America tales 。。。 I was first exposed to them via reprints in the early 1970s Marvel Double Feature title （which collected the best of these stories from the 1960s Tales of Suspense）， and the story beats that thrilled me as a kid are still there as Cap single-handedly takes on A。I。M。， Hydra， the Super-Adaptoid， M。O。D。O。K。， the Red Skull 。。。 you know， the concepts that Marvel continues to plumb in the monthly comics and films today。Are all the stories classics？ Well， no 。。。 reading several at a time， there is a repetition that quickly sets in （partially due to the 11 page story length， which threw out the space used for subplots to cram in even more action）， and you notice that Cap has an annoying habit of basically jumping into situations completely blind and without a plan - relying on his own skills and bravery to get him through skirmishes。 Luckily， I've been dipping into the collection periodically over the last four months or so。 Reading the stories as written （monthly adventure tales）， reveals a burst of creative energy from the creators that rivals what they were giving us in The Fantastic Four。The stories by Lee and Kirby are simply stellar comic books。 Short bursts of frantic energy， fistfights， explosions， purple dialogue， futuristic hardware and super-science 。。。 amazing height of their powers work。 You realize just how good Jack and Stan were together on Captain America when you look at other sections with the great Gil Kane （which includes a goofy sequence involving giant magic bubbles that can apparently encase and lift entire cities 。。。 something so nutty that Stan leaves a note saying "the Skull's technology is classified" instead of an explanation） that fall short， or a one-off with Roy Thomas and Jack Sparling that is easily the worst story in the entire book （and also one that was apparently so bad， it was never reprinted since it was new to me）。Highly recommended， but again， read a few， put it aside for a week or a month， then read some more stories。 The tales deserve to be read as published for the full pulse-pounding Marvel magic to properly wash over you。 。。。more

Childhood favorites revisted。

I appreciated that， despite the utter lack of scientific possibility behind so many of the weapons， there is definitely a realness to the psychology in these stories。 Steve Rogers is a man out of time， trying to fit in to this new world where he doesn't know anybody and all he has is his job。 That's a tough gig， but he's figuring it out。 I appreciated that， despite the utter lack of scientific possibility behind so many of the weapons， there is definitely a realness to the psychology in these stories。 Steve Rogers is a man out of time， trying to fit in to this new world where he doesn't know anybody and all he has is his job。 That's a tough gig， but he's figuring it out。 。。。more

In this reprint of the Captain America stories from Tales of Suspense issues 59 to 96， we start off with some tales of Cap in the sixties then quickly go back to his World War II days。 These tales take a lot from the early Cap stories from the 40s （some are direct re-tellings）， but manage to improve upon them， even in their limited space， plus there are some great confrontations with the Red Skull。 A must have for fans of Captain America。

Red Skull is really bad at staying dead， and Cap feels the need to make punny insults at every villain he comes across， but despite the ridiculousness， this is great。 The reasons for Bucky being Cap's sidekick are。。。 pathetically weak at best， however。 More realistic scenario: Bucky: *looking especially twelve* "I just walked in on you changing into your Cap costume！ I know your secret！ The ONLY OPTION is for me to be your sidekick！！！"Cap: "。。。You're like fifteen at best， and literally the camp Red Skull is really bad at staying dead， and Cap feels the need to make punny insults at every villain he comes across， but despite the ridiculousness， this is great。 The reasons for Bucky being Cap's sidekick are。。。 pathetically weak at best， however。 More realistic scenario: Bucky: *looking especially twelve* "I just walked in on you changing into your Cap costume！ I know your secret！ The ONLY OPTION is for me to be your sidekick！！！"Cap: "。。。You're like fifteen at best， and literally the camp mascot。 How about I buy you ice cream every day for the rest of forever， and you won't tell anyone， huh？"Bucky: "。。。 seems reasonable。 Will you teach me gymnastics anyway？"Cap: "As long as you swear not to go after bad guys， sure。"Bucky: "UGH， FINE。" 。。。more

It's hard to know where to begin with this book。 First I think I want to mention the structure of the book。 The beginning of it is kind of all over the place， as Captain America was appearing in a different title each month。 It's not like the Fantastic Four or Spider-Man， who basically appeared in their own book and no where else。 Instead we start with an issue of Strangle Tales， where Human Torch fights Captain America， but it turns out to be one of Torch's old villains in disguise。 It really i It's hard to know where to begin with this book。 First I think I want to mention the structure of the book。 The beginning of it is kind of all over the place， as Captain America was appearing in a different title each month。 It's not like the Fantastic Four or Spider-Man， who basically appeared in their own book and no where else。 Instead we start with an issue of Strangle Tales， where Human Torch fights Captain America， but it turns out to be one of Torch's old villains in disguise。 It really is a "try out" issue to see how fans would react to bringing back Cap。 （it even mentions that exact thing in the story itself） It was cool that they included this story， since I wouldn't have read it otherwise， but I think it would have been better if they would have just started with Avengers issue four。Which is the next story in the collection。 I'm really glad that they put this story in ， since this is Cap's introduction to the "Marvel Age" of comics。 You might think that there was no way they wouldn't include it， but Marvels' first Wolverine epic does not include his appearance in Uncanny X-Men， Hulk， or even his first two mini-series， so it's not super crazy to think they might leave it out。After that it's another "Try out" issue， with Cap fighting Iron Man， to test the waters on putting him Tales of Suspense。 He gets his own feature after that， but its only 8 to 10 page stories。 These stories are fun， but it's mostly all just action， with a minimal amount of plot。We get a few of those before the format changes again。 The stories are still in Tales of Suspense， but now it is stories of Cap And Bucky during WWII。 If I had to guess， this was because Kirby liked drawing war stories。 After a few of those stories it goes back to being in the present。 The stories are still action packed， but there is some more depth to them。 There are attempts to give Cap some supporting characters， but they seem to come and go since it's people like Nick Fury and other Avengers members。 The structure of the book isn't really a problem for me， but it was a bit weird that they moved around so much。 I think they were just trying to see what worked and what didn't。 This book also seems to span the longest of any book collected， five whole years， so I would imagine a good amount of changes happen at Marvel on that time。The interesting part for me while reading this what how involved it is with the other parts of the growing Marvel Universe。 Cap is a member of the Avengers， so they make several appearances'， along with there mansion and tech。 Also present in Nick Fury and SHIELD， as Cap seems to do side missions for them。 It was pretty cool to read that。 Plus， we get to see the beginnings of AIM， an organization that continues in Marvel to this day。Much of the artwork is by Kirby， and it is just awesome。 Loads of Kirby tech and tons of Kirby action。 While I really think Jack's best stuff for Marvel was his Fantastic Four stuff， I can really see why people love his Captain America。 It was also cool to see Cap drawn with a clear fighting style。 He really is the best hand to hand fighter in Marvel， and he has been that way from the beginning。If you're a fan of Marvels silver age like I am， you will love this book！ 。。。more
