Cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia. The Red Skull is picking off members of the federal economic committee one by one despite the best efforts of the Living Legend and the Falcon. However the skull -- at his ranting and raving best -- decides to take on a side project during his conquest of America! He wants to break up the burgeoning relationship between Gabe Jones and Peggy Carter. So his henchmen kidnap the pair during the attack on the next committee member! But that turns out to be a big mistake as their abduction leads Cap and his partner right to the Red Skull's secret base! And now the skull must play his ace in the hole: Sam Wilson!
