And after listening to the sub's old audio tapes, Cap discovers an inconsistency in his origin!

To answer that question, the star-spangled avenger returns to Newfoundland...where the mystery only deepens! First (cameo) appearances of Lyle Dekker and the Ameridroid. Cameo appearances by the Falcon, Sharon Carter, Nick Fury, Jarvis, Marvel Man (aka Wendell Vaughn), Blue Streak, Texas Twister, and the Vamp. 32 pages. Cover price $0.35.
