Captain America (Volume #1 | Issue #329 | Page #11)

Setting aside the fact that it’s a great Demolition Man (Dennis Dunphy) spotlight page, this page also represents the issue that got me started collecting Captain America (Volume 1). Back in those days, back issues were hard to come by and it seemed to take forever for the currents to come out. In the interim, I would read and re-read all of my Cap issues. Honestly, I can’t remember how many times I read this particular issue but it—as well as the period—continues to have a lasting impression on me.

Later on, I discovered that this was the late Paul Neary’s penultimate Cap issue. So in many ways, Neary had an impact on my childhood. Thank you, Paul! RIP.
