Description
This is something I've been wanting to try for a while - a straight recreation (as opposed to the mash-up cover recreations I've done in the past) of the cover of one of the comics that helped change me into a comic fan as a kid.

In this case, Captain America #168, although indirectly - I was only about a year and a half old when this came out in late 1973, but it was later repurposed as one of the Power Records comic + 45rpm record combos that came out later in that decade. I had several of those, including the one based on this issue - which was likely my first exposure to Captain America in my young life.

The original cover was created by Sal Buscema and John Verpoorten, copyright Marvel Comics.
