    "Deathwatcher!" Script by Dave Michelinie. Pencils by Gene Colan. Inks by Dave Simons. Cover by Frank Miller and Joe Rubinstein. In this unusual story, the star-spangled avenger encounters a man who derives pleasure from watching people die. In fact, it's the only thing that gives him pleasure. How bizarre! At first the strange man -- Samson Scythe -- is content to just watch criminals die in real time. But then he gets the idea...that it would be even more awesome to watch a bona fide superhero die! So with the cameras rolling, the eccentric recluse and his butler set a trap for the Sentinel of Liberty! Will Captain America exit stage left before the curtain comes down? Cameo appearances by the Constrictor and Bernie Rosenthal. 48 pages. Cover price $0.75.
