ZECK, DeMATTEIS’ Classic CAPTAIN AMERICA to Get EPIC COLLECTION

With the inking prowess of John Beatty, as well as other top contributors…

The beauty of Captain America is that there are so many classic storylines to hunt down. And one of them, of course, is J.M. DeMatteis, Mike Zeck and John Beatty’s early ’80s arc — a healthy portion of which will be collected in Captain America Epic Collection: Monsters and Men this fall.

Dig the official solicitation info, released earlier in June by Marvel:
