Description

A patriotic post for the holiday. Cap saves Bucky! Or does he? You know those old What Ifs always had a dark turn at the end...

All stats are replacements on an acetate sheet (sorry for the glare). Please click on the additional image to see the art underneath more clearly. It looks great on its own.

The detail on the image without the overlay is just amazing. Thanks so much for sharing that. What a beaut! Happy Independence Day, Cap!

So awesome that it has a Sal styled Cap at the center of the action!  Probably nods to Kirby and others with such a wild battle scene!

A classic from the era, from the time when Hoberg was trying to get regular comics work and just before getting into animation on a regular basis. The Sinnott inks really pull the entire thing together rather beautifully, don't they?

Excellent Cap cover, Dan! And an important What If? issue, to boot! Are you going to frame it with or without the overlay?

Great cover to a well-remembered story! Beautiful art by Hoberg and Sinnott. I love the image of Cap at the top, vowing to save Bucky. And l love the bottom splash with Cap struggling to get at the Red Skull. Altogether, a classic What if? comic!

Lots to pore over with this one, Dan!  Love the composition, almost effortlessly melding the multiple images.  Really great stuff.  Congrats!
