DescriptionAt last - I got Cap! Maybe because it had "Official" in the title, I always felt the images created for the first volume of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe seemed iconic, as the best representation of each character. Marvel often had an artist associated with the character to provide the full body pose and, for me, no one did Cap better than artist Mike Zeck. This classic image has been used for licensing and in-house marketing but it is the simple smile and expression that shows Steve's character that makes this image so beloved. Expertly inked by the master Joe Rubinstein.Thanks to Abraham Madampil for letting me make an offer he couldn't refuse! If you love Cap, I have a weekly Cap comic book podcast where I interview several Cap creators: https://captainamericacomicbookfans.com.

Cap, Red Skull and Zemo are at the framers currently to all be in one frame so I can enjoy looking at them together. :) Always on the hunt for more Zeck Cap related OHOTMUs...

That's great! Maybe you can include a bonus image of all 3 when the framing is completed!

When I saw AM post this, I thought "Why isn't this in Rick's collection?"
I see that you were thinking the same thing!

It probably is the most iconic image they can have to make it as the official entry! The image was scrutinized even more as there is only one chance to do this right.

Definitive (though his work on the character would change to a leaner approach during the second part of his run)
