Still reading through the early days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's partnership and enjoying the nostalgic trip.

I prefer the contemporary stories to the WWII flashbacks, but overall an exciting collection that is great to look at.

Fun. Not my favorite that I've read so far, but enjoyable.
One thing I forgot to mention in Thor that I noticed again here are the hilarious credits on many of the covers, which have led me to feel sorry for the letterers who often get credits like this:
Wondrous Words by.......Stan Lee
Awesome Art by..............Jack Kirby
Incredible Inking by.......Frank Giacoia
Lop-sided Lettering by..Artie Simek

This was my first comic book experience and most likely my last. I used to read a lot of manga and I always wondered what the difference was. I love Captain America, so this seemed like a fun experiment.
I laughed for all the wrong reasons. I understand this is a collection of work from a different time, but my god the dialogue is painful. Steve Rogers sounds like he's come from an old western movie, and as another reviewer mentioned, he and Bucky always have to say what it is they're going to do before they do it! The suspense is minimal, the weird broken German seems to be inserted at random, and I'm left feeling bored.
This was a good introduction to a bunch of Captain America's adventures, but not the right kind of narrative for me.
