Captain America Celebrates America!

A Half-Century Ago, Marvel Did an All-New Tabloid-Sized Special Celebrating the Bicentennial...

Unpublished Page by Jack Kirby
...titled Captain America's Bicentennial Battles, written and penciled by Jack (King) Kirby, who had just returned from a tenure at DC Comics!

Penciled page (from photocopy) by Jack Kirby
...and gave us an iconic image of the Star-Spangled Avenger congratulating Uncle Sam on making it to 200!
Bicentennial Bonus: the original art by Jack Kirby and Frank Giacoia!
Happy Birthday, America!
(Hope it isn't our last one...)
