Give those Ratzis what-for, Buck! This classic Golden Age adventure's got it all, from Cap and Bucky going undercover disguised as women to Adolf Hitler himself. You haven't seen anything until you've seen Bucky as Joe Simon and Jack Kirby first imagined him.
TALES OF SUSPENSE #65
This classic Stan Lee/Jack Kirby tale retells Captain America and Bucky's first encounter with none other than the villain behind Steve Rogers' assassination, the Red Skull. The beginnings of a rivalry lasting more than six decades, this one's full of all the thrills, chills and daring adventures as only Lee and Kirby can deliver!
CAPTAIN AMERICA #8
The Winter Soldier stands revealed as Bucky Barnes, and Cap begins his quest to find the answers behind his former partner's reappearance. Where's Bucky been for the last sixty years? How did he survive the explosion that seemingly took his life? And, most importantly, what transformed him into the cold, murderous Winter Soldier? Be warned, Cap—you might not like the answers you find! But readers? You'll love this tale, a key part of one of the best Marvel stories of the decade
CAPTAIN AMERICA 65TH ANNIVERSARY #1
In this flashback special, Captain America and Bucky are joined by Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos as they're dropped behind enemy lines. While there, Bucky finds love in the form of a spunky young resistance fighter—but will he be able to leave her when the mission's over? Between the romance and the explosions, what more could you ask for?!
FALLEN SON: THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA: WOLVERINE #1
In the aftermath of the Civil War, Steve Rogers lies dead in the helicarrier's morgue…or does he? Wolverine's skeptical and he needs Bucky's help to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters and find out the truth, whether he wants to believe it or not.
Good list Post Bot! Now allow me to be the first to state the obvious: Captain America #34. James Buchannon "Bucky" Barnes finally picks up the shield.
And I foresee this Avengers/Invaders run...
