"Children of the Night' - In the town of Starkesboro, Massachusetts, Captain America and Dr. Druid attempt to fend off the werewolves that surround them. Using his mystic abilities, Druid levitates himself, then Cap out of the fray, also rendering the two of them undetectable by sight or scent. In her lab, Nightshade demonstrates to the town's master, Dredmund, that their captive, Wolverine, has an ability to heal that prevents her werewolf serum from transforming him as it did the townspeople. Instead, Dredmund puts Wolverine under his hypnotic control. Outside, Moonhunter searches in vain for the two Avengers.

Later in New York, Bernie Rosenthal enters Avengers HQ to visit Captain America, but upon learning he's not there, she agrees to accompany Jarvis and Dennis Dunphy on a walk to Central Park.

Back in Starkesboro, Moonhunter reports to Dredmund that the mystically cloaked Captain America and an unknown companion are somewhere in the town, Dredmund relieves Moonhunter of duty and plots a trap.

The still-undetectable Cap and Dr. Druid proceed amidst the now human townspeople who search for them, and enter the town hall. Out of the shadows, the mesmerized Wolverine lunges at Cap, and their fight carries them out into the street. Shortly, Wolverine has Captain America pinned, allowing Moonhunter the knock the Avenger out with a tranquilizer dart. Soon, Cap is strapped to a table in Nightshade's lab, where she injects him with the werewolf formula.

"Real World" - After a month of submersive training and brainwashing, Crossbones feels Rachel Leighton is ready to accompany him to meet with the Red Skull. He provides her a new Diamondback costume, and they head for Avengers HQ, where he charges her with a mission to steal Captain America's spare blood plasma. Cleared through security, thanks to her relationship with Cap, she proceeds to the Avengers' med-lab.

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.
