Baron Zemo, the man who sent Captain America and Bucky Barnes plunging to the bottom of the North Atlantic, returns to menace Cap - in a saga guest-starring Nick Fury, the Black Panther and Sharon Carter! Then, the Red Skull forces our hero to do his bidding - or risk America's nuclear annihilation! There's Kirby action at its best with Batroc the Leaper and the Trapster, and Lee drama at its deepest as Cap relives his first meeting with Bucky! It gets even more exciting when the world believes Steve Rogers is...dead? And when an encounter with the Red Skull and his Cosmic Cube causes Cap and the Skull to switch bodies, only Sam Wilson - the high-flying Falcon - can help Cap regain his true identity and defeat his Nazi nemesis! Collecting TALES OF SUSPENSE (1959) #97-99 and CAPTAIN AMERICA (1968) #100-119. All Ages

Steranko steals it! Review by Ryan

As stated in my review for the first Epic Collection volume, I was not a huge fan of the fact Captain America had to share a comic with Iron Man, as the stories felt way too short, and often rushed to a conclusion. With this second volume, the first few issues are still in 10-page format, but thankfully this is both brief and part of a multi-issue storyline. Cap teams up with the first black superhero, Black Panther, in a fun story featuring a surprise (and presumed deceased) villain. With the end of this story, Captain America was given his own comic book, and so we see the standard 20-page layout for every issue going forward. This is a much welcomed edition to the volume.
The only gripe I tend to have with these stories is the reliance on the Red Skull. He featured as the villain on three separate occasions in the first volume, and appears twice in this volume in multi-issue arcs. This isn't necessarily a bad thing: if you're a fan of the Red Skull I'm sure you'll love it! For me though, it sometimes robs the issue of a surprise. More often than not, a mysterious villain will be controlling the chaos behind the scenes, and when Steve Rogers confronts him, nine times out of ten he'll be the Red Skull. It always feels somewhat anticlimactic for me. Spider-Man (in his 60s stories at least) didn't lean so heavily on Doc Ock or the Green Goblins, or the Avengers on Kang on Ultron.
However, this volume does contain a real beauty. Issues 110, 111 and 113 were both written and drawn by Jim Steranko, and these three issues contain some of the most incredible and provoking art. Reading this for the first time, I was taken aback by the style and revolutionary art in a comic book from this period, and it is a great shame that Steranko could only do these three issues. I would buy it just for those three issues alone... (Posted on 04/02/2021)
