Robbins runs into Kirby...

Let's start with #164, then leap (after the splash page) to #185 all the way up to #192, which, aside from Annuals #5 & 6 (not show here) are all the non-Jack Kirby Captain America issues in my collection. (Scratch that - I have maybe a couple of earlier ones, as well as a few much later ones I've shown before.)
I don't remember having all these mags when they were published, apart from around 3, possibly 4 of them, but the ones I do recall are etched in my memory - and, in regard to one in particular (#187 if you're interested), I even remember who was with me on the day I bought it from the local Hospital Shop in my home town.
I don't have the original ones I used to own, but I've had their replacements now for around 25-30 years or so - much longer than I had the ones purchased back in the '70s, so they feel like the originals to me. However, that's quite enough of my self-indulgent warblings, it's now time to turn you loose on all these great images.
Got a favourite? Be sure and let us all know, effendi! And if you'd like to see all of Jack's Cap covers from the '70s (plus a few more), click here.

| We know what he means, but it sounds like he's been waiting for The Falcon to slay Cap |

| Well, they'll burn through Cap too, won't they? No mystery |
 |
| H'mm, even allowing for foreshortening, I'd say the baddie's left leg is too long |
