Topping it off is a TWO-IN-ONE adventure starring She-Hulk and the Thing by Shulkie scribe David Anthony Kraft that tilts the green gal-iath toward her future comedic exploits!

Then, after fighting for his very soul against Satan himself, Ghost Rider finds himself teaming up with the Ever-Lovin' Thing in mortal combat against the ever-angry Hulk and in league with the ever-courageous Champions! And if you thought the Orb was finis, think again as Marvel's deadliest eyeball returns to extract another pound of Ghost Rider flesh!

We voted - and this red-white-and-blue Masterworks, packed with rare Captain America adventures, wins in a landslide!

After an awe-inspiring origin retelling by comics legend Roy Thomas, Cap comes face-to-face with a twisted twelve-foot version of himself: Behold the Ameridroid! And if that wasn't unusual enough, wait until you see Cap squaring off against...the Lincoln Memorial?! It's a good thing Cap's got Nick Fury and the Super Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on his side - because the Red Skull is back, and he's out for blood! And don't miss a showdown with the Hulk that pits the green-skinned Goliath's brute strength against nothing but Cap's trusty shield and battle-hardened tactical skill!

It's a can't-miss Marvel classic!
