    "Death Be Not Proud!" Script by Roy Thomas. Pencils by John Buscema. Inks by George Klein. Cover by John Buscema, George Klein, and Frank Giacoia. In recent days Steve Rogers has been having doubts about the final fate of his WWII partner, Bucky Barnes. Cap is fairly certain that Bucky died while trying to stop Baron Zemo's drone plane, but he's not completely sure. So the Living Legend asks his fellow avengers to meet at Dr. Doom's castle and go back in time with him to 1945! When the Wasp turns the dial on the time platform, the Avengers' journey to World War II-era England begins! Good luck against Baron Zemo! But beware... sometimes the past is best left alone! Story continues in Avengers (1963 1st series) Annual #2. Avengers Lineup: Black Panther, Captain America, Goliath, Hawkeye, and the Wasp. (Notes: The letters page includes a letter from comics historian Peter Sanderson. This issue was reprinted in Marvel Super Action #15.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.12.
