Description:
Captain America #100 marks the "Big Premier Issue" of Captain America's first solo title since the Golden Age, continuing directly from Tales of Suspense #99. This landmark comic, released in April 1968, officially reintroduces Steve Rogers as a standalone hero in the modern Marvel Universe. Titled “This Monster Unmasked!”, the issue features Cap battling against the villainous Red Skull and a cadre of evildoers, with a supporting cast that includes Black Panther and the original Avengers lineup.

Drawn by the legendary Jack Kirby and written by Stan Lee, the comic blends patriotic action, Cold War intrigue, and high-stakes superhero drama. The cover is iconic: Captain America bursts through the page in dynamic motion, surrounded by Avengers like Iron Man, Thor, and Giant-Man, symbolizing his triumphant return as a headlining hero.

This issue is not only a continuation of Cap’s Silver Age adventures—it’s a key collector’s item, representing the transition from anthology to a solo series and cementing Captain America’s place as a central Marvel icon.
