Editorial Review:
Eager to serve his country during World War Two, Steve Rogers was transformed into a physically perfect man by the government's Super Soldier Program. Armed with an indestructible shield and the physical prowess of an Olympic athlete, Rogers fought valiantly to uphold the ideals and principles of democracy until frozen in a block of ice where he was preserved for decades. Discovered by the Avengers and revived, Steve Rogers is a man out of time, who remains vigilant in his battle to protect the innocent and uphold the American ideals of truth, justice and honor. In this fully updated re-issue of Essential Captain America Volume 1, Marvel's Sentinel of Liberty renews his mission and fights the good fight, facing off against Baron Zemo, the Red Skull, Power Man, the Swordsman, Batroc the Leaper and the Super-Adaptoid! Collecting Tales of Suspense #59-99 and Captain America #100-102.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - WARNING - TERRIBLE REPRODUCTION QUALITY IN YELLOW COVER - GOOD IN BLACK COVER
These are absolutely great stories, with incredible art by Jack. There are some stories done by Gil Kane and other artists, which are all right, but the stories with Kirby's art - and plots - are fantastic. And these are stories in which Stan Lee avoided getting too melodramatic or chatty in his dialogue. Lee shows great restraint, and Kirby's action scenes are incredible.
But there are two versions of this TPB. The one with Cap coming at you, with the yellow background has absolutely ... Read More
Rating: - Fun Reading
I took a long plane trip and this was perfect. I wish it was color but at the same time you can't beat the price for some old fashioned USA vintage propaganda. Great fun.
Rating: - A Real Let Down
Not in color and not in step with the original Captain America comics of the 1940s that I remember. Don't bother or waste your money on it.
Rating: - THE SILVER AGE OF CAPTAIN AMERICA
is there some legal reason why Marvel doesn't put out collections of their Golden Age Heroes like Captain America, the Human Torch, etc? Just curious. I'd love to see those. Well this Essential volume collects Caps Earliest Silver Age Adventures from Tales of Suspense #55 - 99 and Captain America 100 - 102 once the title was changed.
While we were now in the mid-1960's, many of these stories were still fought against Nazi enemies like the Red Skull, Baron Zemo, and the Sleepers. The stories ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Comics would be better on a CD format...
All I can say if you like the classics without the classic prices of $50 per volume; If you like Jack Kirby or Gil Kane ...or even Gene Colan's art ...buy this volume! I wish they could truly do these books justice by putting them in color on a CD Rom like the Marvel Comics Library did a few months ago.
I love reading them in the origial color format and it's the only way to go with the Essentials...so here's my vote for many more Essencials..only in the CD format! I hope someone at Marvel reads these ... Read More
