Captain America 113 by Jim Steranko
Keeping with the theme of Independence Day, this wee’s splash page comes Captain America #113 by Jim Steranko. It’s a really kinetic double page spread, with Cap fighting off a bunch of Hydra agents who are seemingly digging up Nick Fury and the Vision.
There’s a whole lot going on in this page in the malaise. There are Hydra goons flying everywhere. Look at the headstones in the back that are getting smashed. On the right side of the panel, Sterano uses the shadowy back of a tombstone as a text box. Very Eisner-esque.
And get a load of those guns! They look straight out of a Fourth World story!
Steranko revealed in the Afterword of the newly released Captain America Omnibus, that he pencilled, inked, coloured and lettered that 2 page spread.
Tony thanks for sharing that! I just checked out your website and its awesome!
