Captain America #v2 #1 - CGC 8.0 - Marvel Comics 1996

The Relaunch of a Marvel Icon – The Beginning of the “Heroes Reborn” Saga

With the publication of Captain America Vol. 2 #1 in November 1996 , Marvel Comics relaunched the character in a new alternate continuity, kicking off the controversial but historically important "Heroes Reborn" saga. This series was the result of one of the most talked-about collaborations of the 1990s: Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld – American comics superstars – revitalized Cap and other classic heroes in a parallel narrative universe designed to appeal to a new generation of readers.

A new era for the First Avenger

In this first issue, Captain America is brought back to life in the present , having been frozen since World War II. The story reimagines his origins, his awakening, and his difficult adaptation to a profoundly changed world. With a darker tone, more muscular design, and an aggressive visual style typical of the '90s, this relaunch represents an important piece of Marvel publishing history.
