Blackstone CopyThis issue of Captain America Comics hails from the interesting period when hero comics were on the wane, and the staff at Timely attempted to reconfigure Cap's title into a horror book. This bizzare and unnerving Al Avison cover can be viewed as a symbol of the crossraods the comic industry was facing, confused about which way to turn and what the future would hold, therein lies the fascinating appeal of this oddball issue.
