Issue Description

When a serial killer runs loose in northern London, Captain America must confront a monster from his past.

In England, a series of terrible slasher murders are being committed. People are being killed and having the blood drained out of them. Everyone believes it to be the work of some insane serial killer, but elderly Lord Falsworth of Falsworth Manor suspects something a bit more sinister. He believes the culprit to be a VAMPIRE named Baron Blood, and he has good reason to suspect it, because Lord Falsworth was once UNION JACK, the heroic leader of the Invaders, who battled Baron Blood countless times during the war.

His accusations fall upon deaf ears, however, because he is old and unwell, and everyone believes him to be getting senile. But Lord Falsworth feels in his heart that he is correct, and calls upon the only person whom he knows will believe him: Captain America.

There is a bittersweet moment when Captain America reunites with his former team mate Spitfire, Miss Jacqueline Crichton. During the war, she was the teenage girl who had a crush on Cap, but to her sad realization, she sees that because of his years in suspended animation, he has remained young, while she has aged many years.

Lord Falsworth tells Cap that his half brother is back from he dead and will be coming to take his life. He states that his brother will continue to return from the grave until he is killed the only way to properly kill a vampire: beheading.

All suspicions about Lord Falsworth's brother rising from the dead are laid to rest that night, however, when Baron Blood descends upon Falsworth Manor to take out meddling Captain America. But The Vampire is in for a surprise, when he finds Captain America wide awake and waiting!

After duking it out, Baron Blood gets the upper hand and as the rest of the household burst into Cap’s room, they see Captain America entranced as Baron Blood prepares to sink his teeth into his Neck!

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.
