Enjoy!

55. "The Hero That Was" Captain America #109

This is the debut of the Silver Age take on Captain America's origin, by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Syd Shores...









54. "The Grand Director Saga" Captain America #231-236

In this storyline, most famously remembered for Sharon Carter being killed off off panel, the evil Doctor Faustus controls Captain America's mind and turns him into a neo-Nazi, leading to Daredevil having to free Cap (the story was written by Roger McKenzie, then writer of Daredevil). Sal Buscema drew it with a few different inkers.









53. "The Exiles" Captain America #103-105

This one sort of began in Captain America #102, where we meet the Exiles, a bunch of guys that the Red Skull had trained since they were kids to become his men in the then-future, which is now the present (well, WAS the present as of Captain America #102). The Red Skull and his men set up shop on a remote island and then the Red Skull kidnaps Sharon Carter and, well, that was a bad decision...











Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Syd Shores did the arc. Holy crap, that is some awesome Kirby artwork.

52. "Red Menace" Captain America (Vol. 5) #15-17

This arc re-introduces the Red Skull's daughter, Sin, as Ed Brubaker and Mike Perkins re-envision her as sort of a Natural Born Killers type vibe with Crossbones. They made her a major part of the series from this point forward...









As you can see- these two nutjobs are no the kind of people you want suddenly having access to the sort of super-weapons that AIM can build.

51. "Truth" Truth: Red, White and Black #1-7

Robert Morales and Kyle Baker delivered this poignant tale of the men who were experimented on while trying to replicate the Super Soldier Serum used on Steve Rogers. One of the successes, Isiah Bradley, was even sent on a mission behind enemy lines. Since he was sort of blackmailed into doing it, Bradley got a bit of revenge by going into battle wearing a costume the government wasn't ready for him to use just yet...









Baker did a great job on this series.

50. "The Gladiator, the Girl and the Glory" Tales of Suspense #75-76

In this action-packed two-parter, we meet both Sharon Carter and Batroc for the first time, as the latter is trying to get his hands on a top secret device that the former is tasked with escorting. Captain America gets involved and it is awesome...









I love how many twists and turns this story has. Batroc even ends up TEAMING UP with Cap at one point!

49. "Hope and Glory" Captain America #444

The first issue of Mark Waid and Ron Garney's run on Captain America was unique in that it didn't actually feature Captain America. Instead, it was filled with the Avengers responding to a hostage situation where the bad guys will only answer to Captain America. At the time, though, Cap was feared dead. An officious bureaucrat working with the Avengers at the scene downplays Captain America's importance and each member of the Avengers explans to him why he is so dumb. Eventually, the Avengers are forced to just solve stuff on their own but find that their words inspired more than they expected...









Awesome intro to the Waid/Garney run. Mike Sellers inked this first issue.

48. "The Man Who Bought America" Captain America (Volume 5) #37-42

The conclusion to the three-part "Death of Captain America" storyline, the Red Skull's plans for taking control of the United States also involve using the crazy Captain America of the 1950s, the same Captain America whose partner was killed by the Winter Soldier before Steve Rogers broke his programming. So when they fight, the current Captain America realizes that his foe has legitimate reasons to hate him...









Steve Epting joined Ed Brubaker to close the three-book Death of Captain America story to a close.

47. "Madripoor Night" Uncanny X-Men #268

Chris Claremont, Jim Lee and Scott Williams delivered this classic issue that revealed that Captain America and Wolverine had teamed up together during World War II in a story that flashes between the past and the present and ties them both together. It also has one of the most famous Captain America panels of all-time...









46. "Two Americas" Captain America #602-605

The Captain America of the 1950s is a problem once again as his crazed ideals leads him to become the leader of a radicalized group of disenchanted Americans...









Luke Ross and Butch Guice drew the story and Ed Brubaker wrote it.
