Captain America Vol.5 #1 Final Page by Steve Epting (2005) Red Skull Assassinated!

I think the Red Skull has died 5 or 6 times from the Golden Age through to present, but none more dramatically than this!

very nice pick up buddy, i remember this page so well, prolly read the series 5 times over the years, major congrats on this one

The first issue really had a dark, gritty, crime noir feel that Brubaker is famous for. Epting's art, particularly the brooding nature of the visual storytelling really hit home with this shock end to the story. Likewise I have read the Winter Soldier storyline countless times. I have my favorite page from issue 1, but this is a strong second.

A highly impactful end page splash to that first issue which kicked off an all-timer Cap run! Killer addition to your amazing Cap collection. Congrats! 

He's not dead. He's just having a lie down in the magically flat world of comics, which some call 2D. It's been a busy day. He's only taking a bloody break.Man, I loved this run.

So beautiful! So iconic! Congratulations!

Beautiful, haunting image from a great run!! 

I love it when bad guys die.
