2nd appearance of Red Skull (Johann Shmidt); cover/story art by Al Avison; bondage cover (7/42) COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
Captain America Comics #16 shows Al Avison and Syd Shores thriving after co-creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon handed them the title after the first ten issues. That includes a classic cover actually inspired by two stories within this Golden Age thriller, "The Horror of the Seas" has FBI agent Betty Ross and Cap investigating a series of suspicious bus accidents. The story takes a weird turn when the saboteur known as the Hooded Horror is revealed to be exploiting an underwater race of sea creatures who hate Nazis just as much as they hate Captain America. (The King takes a liking to Betty Ross, though.) "Red Skull 's Deadly Revenge" is another classic tale featuring the second appearance of the actual Johann Shmidt. Cap's nemesis escapes from prison and becomes an expert archer while also learning Captain America's secret identity and masquerading as Our Hero to frame him for multiple crimes. The story ends with the Red Skull seemingly plummeting from a plane, although Bucky will soon learn in Young Allies #4 that Shmidt faked his death.
