Steve Rogers was a scrawny fine arts student specializing in industrialization in the 1940’s before America entered World War II. He attempted to enlist in the army only to be turned away due to his poor constitution. A U.S. officer offered Rogers an alternative way to serve his country by being a test subject in project, Operation: Rebirth, a top-secret defense research project designed to create physically superior soldiers. Rogers accepted and after a rigorous physical and combat training and selection process was selected as the first test subject. He was given injections and oral ingestion of the formula dubbed the “Super Soldier Serum” developed by the scientist Dr. Abraham Erskine. Rogers was then exposed to a controlled burst of “Vita-Rays” that activated and stabilized the chemicals in his system. The process successfully altered his physiology from its frail state to the maximum of human efficiency, including greatly enhanced musculature and reflexes.

These two hardcovers in a slipcase reprint all the Captain America stories from the first ten issues. All the artwork has been recolored and restored. Witness the Golden Age adventures of the shield slinging Sentinel of Liberty! Whether confronting sinister supervillains or subversive saboteurs, the super soldier and his star-spangled sidekick swashbuckle their way through a world at war! Beware the Black Toad! Watch out for the White Death! Run from the Red Skull! These stories, along with those contained in Volume 1, complete the full run of tales starring Captain America and Bucky by the titanic team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Painstakingly restored and recolored!

Although Captain America: The Classic Years does not bear the Marvel Limited imprint, its production quality and publication period coincide with the prestigious Marvel Limited line. It has been widely considered by many, including renowned Moth Comix, to be included in the Marvel Limited line. In original factory sealed condition, Captain America: The Classic Years Box Set is virtually extinct in comic shops and the World Wide Web.
