That scenario is presented in this action-packed tale and handled rather well, to the satisfaction of the Welsh kid (me!). Mark Gruenwald is much-missed - he had a solid take on Cap and his place in the world and pushed the character into new places. Ron Lim's art is cartoony but effective. It lacks the realism of more recent Cap adventures, but avoids some of the excess of other '90s contemporaries. A solid read, and a great example of this classic run. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The War on Drugs, Captain America-Style *by T***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2015* This is Volume 16 of the eventual complete collection of Captain America's adventures, covering the years 1990-1991 (volumes 1, 9 and 12 are already available). It's another typically chunky and well-collected release from the Epic Collection series.The book opens and closes with annuals containing a variety of stories, but the majority of the volume - Cap's regular title - is written by Mark Gruenwald and drawn by Ron Lim. This run is dominated by three main storylines - the first, titular story sees Cap find himself in the middle of a drug war between the Kingpin and the Red Skull (and their respective lieutenants Bullseye and Crossbones), a situation complicated by the hero being exposed to drugs himself, leaving him in an uncontrollable rage. It's a unique situation - an unsympathetic Captain America - that allows his supporting cast to shine as they try to stop/help him.The second major story arc involves Cap's semi-girlfriend Diamondback being put on trial by her former villainous employers, the Serpent Society. There are some great fights with the Captain's longtime ophidian foes, as the star-spangled Avenger battles to save his paramour without alienating her forever.The final arc is the shortest, and sees Cap tangling with moral guardians-gone-bad, the Watchdogs. In between these longer stories, the hero battles an ice worm in the Arctic and teams up with fellow Avenger Quasar to save a supervillain, amongst other adventures. Each issue also has a short backup story as well, focusing on Diamondback or fellow patriotic supers USAgent and Battlestar. As well as being fun tales in their own right, they also feature art by then up-and-coming artist Mark Bagley, shortly before his celebrated run on Amazing Spider-Man.The annuals that bookend the volume have a variety of stories, both with Cap and with more of the supporting cast such as Nomad. Both annuals actually form parts of crossovers with other titles, but work perfectly fine as standalone stories, and there are short text explanations of the events of the absent parts.This is a good, solid run of classic Captain America action; the late Gruenwald shows his mastery of continuity as well as of character, and Lim provides fine, detailed and dynamic art. Together with original art and magazine articles, including interviews with Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, as extras, this is a quality collection worthy of a place on any Cap-fan's shelf. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by B***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2016* triffic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52508331-captain-america-epic-collection-streets-of-poison-captain-america-1968](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52508331-captain-america-epic-collection-streets-of-poison-captain-america-1968) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
