Captain America Omnibus Vol. 5

Includes Roger Stern and John Byrne’s complete run, a high watermark for Captain America storytelling!

Pop culture might have gone from disco to punk to new wave during the four-year run of stories collected in this Omnibus extravaganza, but one man remained as red, white and blue as ever: Steve Rogers, Captain America! After an origin retelling by comics legend Roy Thomas, Cap goes up against the Ameridroid and an brought-to-life Lincoln Memorial! Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. help Cap take on the Red Skull and but he has to go mano-a-Hulko against Marvel’s incredible green-skinned engine of destruction! Later, Cap finds himself embroiled in a gang war that puts him at odds with the Punisher. This era’s Captain America winds up with Roger Stern and John Byrne’s timeless run featuring Baron Blood—and a presidential run?!?
