Captain America (Vol.3) #1 pg 4 splash - Ron Garney & Bob Wiacek (1998) Heroes Return!

For many long-time Cap fans, the return of the original characters (along with the return of Mark Waid and Ron Garney) following "Heroes Reborn," was a welcomed site. And Garney purposefully drew Cap's dramatic return to be a delayed splash... revealing him catching a lit torch he knocked out of terrorists hands with his shield, holding it a style very reminiscent of Lady Liberty herself. This page is the first appearance of Cap's return in his own series and it's big and bold and I love it.

If you love Cap, I have a weekly Cap comic book podcast where I interview several Cap creators: https://captainamericacomicbookfans.com. For example, we chatted with Ron Garney https://tinyurl.com/2xwpn5zw as well as Mark Waid https://tinyurl.com/4r4prh32 to get their thoughts on their amazing Cap runs.
