From the Mouths of the Marvels:

"These tours of duty can be mighty lonely, especially to a man who thrives on action! Perhaps I can make time pass more quickly by looking through this old scrapbook of mine!"

Synopsis: While Cap maintains a solo duty assignment watching over the Avengers mansion, Jarvis is abducted by Bull, a local crime boss. With info gleaned from his hostage, Bull figures that Cap will be easy pickings for him and his gang since he is all alone at the Avengers HQ. At the mansion, Cap is looking through his old WWII scrapbook when his silent reverie is shattered. Bull's mob, a tightly coordinated team of thugs led by a man in a giant armored suit, surprise Cap and take him down.

But before they can slice into the Avengers safe, Cap rebels. Despite his feet being tied together with a rope, he leaps acrobatically through the mob in such a way that the rope is burned off by the safecracker's acetylene torch. Then, he beats up on the armored giant and puts away the rest of the mob with a dizzying array of athletic moves.

Captain America is back!!!
