Issue Description

As the ultimate revenge, the Red Skull has used the Cosmic Cube to swap bodies with the Star-Spangled Avenger. Can Steve Rogers convince his fellow Avengers he's not the Red Skull, the crazed genocidal maniac?

With Cap and the Red Skull having switched bodies, thanks to the Cosmic Cube, Sharon and the Skull embrace while Cap looks on. Sharon has no idea of the Skulls treacherous switch. The Skull (as Cap) and Sharon leave, as Cap (as the Skull) is left to ponder this troubling turn of events. The Skull transports the pondering Cap to a test facility where he is immediately taken by guards, but quickly escapes. Meanwhile the Skull confidently walks the city secure that know one knows he is really the Red Skull, and NOT who he appears to be. Cap is now the subject of a police manhunt as the local authorities think they are chasing the Skull. The Avengers have been monitoring this chase, and now notice that the Skull (Cap) is headed their way. As the Skull stands in Central Park and watches all this through the cube, Rick Jones comes upon him, thinking this to be Cap. He sends Rick away harshly, and as Rick leaves he wonders what has gotten into his mentor and friend. Cap (in Red Skull's body) enters Avengers Mansion and as he attempts to convince the Avengers that he is NOT the Skull, they fight ferociously. The Avengers subdue him, tie him up, and leave him in a holding cell, as SHIELD has summoned them. Having seen this, the Skull next summons Sharon Carter to the Avengers Mansion armed to kill Cap. She enters the cell and Cap tries to convince her of his identity. She cannot shoot....the one thing that the Cube cannot overcome is the emotion of love. The Skull, not to be defeated, vows to finish Steve off once and for all, and sends him to his hidden isle, where the Exiles, whom the Skull has betrayed, await.

Volume Description

Captain America is on his own at last, in the comic that started it all, the Super Soldier's story begins.

Continued from Tales of Suspense issue 99. Tales of Suspense was one of several horror-like anthologies that Marvel was publishing in the early 1960's, but just like its counterpart Tales To Astonish, after nearly one hundred issues the series changed its name, after it already went a completely new route featuring characters such as Iron Man and Captain America instead of horror stories. So it was that in 1968, the series became Captain America Volume 1 with its hundredth issue. Captain America ran on for three more decades much like its Incredible Hulk counterpart. The series concluded with issue 454, when the series was relaunched as Captain America vol. 2. After issue number 50 of Captain America vol. 5, that series returned to its original numbering started here in Volume 1, celebrating it's 600th issue.

This is the first solo Captain America series published by Marvel Comics, the previous series, Captain America Comics, had been published by Marvel’s predecessors Atlas and Timely respectively.
