Captain America #139 - CGC 7.0 - Marvel Comics 1971

In this gripping issue titled “The Unholy Alliance!” , Captain America and Falcon face a new criminal threat in a story that mixes action, political tension and a touch of noir.

Cap and Falcon are recruited for a special mission that puts them on the trail of a secret organization plotting in the shadows: a new masked enemy makes his debut— The Cowled Commander —who enacts a plan to destabilize the social order and discredit the forces of law and order.

The issue is also important for the development of the relationship between Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson: teamwork, mutual trust, and the challenges of working as partners in hostile environments are all central themes. The tone is urban and contemporary, in keeping with the realistic style that characterized Marvel in the early 1970s.

The cover by John Romita is iconic: dynamic, clean and impactful, with Cap and Falcon in the foreground against a background full of tension and mystery.
