The Captain America annual contains a nice done-in-one story that generally fits into Captain America's current status quo—complete with an interview for an art gig and a date with Bernie Rosenthal—while emphasizing his skills and virtues in a story involving a unique sort of foe... all wrapped up in a striking Frank Miller cover.

This issue returns us to Captain America's status quo in Brooklyn Heights after adventures and remembrances kept him in England since issue #253 (excepting the origin issue #255).
