Captain America (1968), Vol. 3 – The #49 Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus of 2017

May 15, 2017 by krisis

Captain America (1968) Omnibus, Vol. 3 is the #49 Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus of 2017 on Tigereyes’s Secret Ballot. 

Captain_America_1968_0176See the Captain America Guide for more details on how to collect this run. Visit the Marvel Masterworks Message Board to view the original posting of results by Tigereyes.

What Is It? Captain America’s early-70s stories adventures in Captain America (1968) were shared with his partner Falcon and featured a backdrop of Steve Rogers butting heads with SHIELD and losing faith in the government he represents.

However, the real reason to read this run is Sal Buscema’s artwork!

This run begins in May 1972 and ends in December 1975.

Past Ranking: This year is the book’s debut placement in the ballot results.

I’m puzzled over how this edition got shut out of the 2016 survey when it’s one of the most obvious gaps in all of omnibus land!

Creators: Primarily written by Gerry Conway and Steve Englehart with pencils by Sal Buscema and inks by Vince Colletta.

Probable Contents: Collects Captain America (1968) #149-192 and material from Foom (1973) #8.

This is a perfect fit between two existing books – Captain America Volume 2 ends with Captain America (1969) #148 and Cap by Kirby picks up at #193.

Can you read it right now? Yes! This hypothetical omnibus covers Captain America Masterworks Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9 – the latter of which was released just last month.See the Captain America Guide for other collecting options.

Also, this entire run is covered by Marvel Unlimited!

The Details:

This early 70s run on Captain America is mostly memorable for the majority of it being drawn by Sal Buscema, who never turned in an unremarkable comic issue in this period, and for a pair of Captain America doubles that resolved a glitch in his history and introduced us to Nomad!

Collecting Captain America

Captain America by Adi GranovCaptain America was not Marvel’s first hero, but he’s proven to be their most-enduring.

Steve Rogers debuted in the pages of his own self-titled comic in March 1941, famously punching out Hitler on the cover even though the United States would not officially join World War II until December of that year. In the context of his Golden Age comics, he was an American Super-Soldier, leading troops abroad against Axis powers.

Though Captain America comics continued after the war with a dwindling audience, Marvel’s writers decided that the fateful day that left Steve Rogers frozen in ice and Bucky Barnes presumed dead could be inserted after his issue #48 in 1945, with well-meaning imposters posing as Cap and Bucky appearing afterwards.

Captain America would remain on ice until the legendary Avengers #4, released two years into the throes of Marvel’s early-60s superhero resurgence. The rest, as they say, is history – someone wearing the mantle of Captain America has appeared in an ongoing title from that point until the present day.
