And unfortunately, the duo is completely unaware of the horror that awaits them inside. Cap enters the facility from the rear and is immediately attacked by werewolves! The star-spangled avenger ferociously fends off the wolf pack and then meets their master: Nightshade! She initially seems harmless -- almost childlike -- but Nightshade enjoys turning people into werewolves...including Sam Wilson! Oh no, will Captain America have to fight the new Falcon-Wolf? Yes, he will. Just like Nightshade planned! Cameo appearances by Nick Fury and the Yellow Claw. (Notes: This is the first appearance of Yellow Claw since the early silver age Yellow Claw (1956) series. A robot version of the character appeared in Strange Tales (1st series) 161-167. Nightshade returns in Captain America 189. Years later she will turn Cap into a werewolf in Captain America 405. Romita's touch-ups to Weiss' pencils create quite a contrast in styles.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.20.

In a dastardly twist, the Yellow Claw tricked Captain America into fighting Nick Fury last issue. The star-spangled avenger won the fight in the claw's underground lair, but the Director of SHIELD was badly injured.

While Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson are talking, they hear a news report that Yellow Claw has been spotted near the Museum of Natural History. The shield-slinger and his partner sneak inside the museum and suddenly encounter mummies -- the living dead! And it's all part of Yellow Claw's plan to raise Suwan, his grandniece, from the dead!

First appearance of Helmut Zemo in "And a Phoenix Shall Arise!" Script by Roy Thomas and Tony Isabella. Pencils by Sal Buscema. Inks by John Tartaglione and George Roussos. Cover by Sal Buscema and John Verpoorten. On a rooftop in Manhattan, a mysterious assailant ambushes the star-spangled avenger! Cap doesn't know who the surprise attacker is, but he calls himself the Phoenix. And he really seems to hate Captain America! The fight is short and inconclusive, so the next evening Cap patrols the same area...and runs into the Phoenix again! However this time the new villain wins! And as shown on the cover, the Living Legend soon finds himself dangling over a vat of Adhesive X. Hold on, Adhesive X was the calling card of the late Baron Heinrich Zemo. Is the past coming back to haunt the Sentinel of Liberty? Thankfully, the Falcon and Redwing make sure it's not today. But one of Cap's greatest foes -- and also one of the Avengers' -- is born! Flashback cameos by Baron Heinrich Zemo and the Red Skull. (Note: Helmut Zemo returns several years later in Captain America 275 and officially adopts the name and uniform of his father.) 32 pages.

In recent days Cap has seen and heard advertisements on TV and radio -- accusing the star-spangled avenger of being a reckless vigilante and unworthy of the public's trust. The Living Legend is taken aback by the negative ads and seeks out the organization responsible: the Committee to Regain America's Principles.
