As it says I'm lookin for the cover to a Captain America comic from a few years, maybe a few more, back. The cover was like a WWII battlefield with a bunch of soldiers around Cap and a guy in a Jeep. I can't recall for my life what one it is and I can't find it in my own collection, but I know I did have it at one point. I tried comicartcommunity.com but no luck thus far.

Reason I'm looking is because I had done a picture of it a long time ago that came out pretty nicely, surprisingly better than most of my work at that age, and then my best friend's brother died in a car accident. Turned out he was on his way home from Iraq. I had presented the picture of Cap to my best friend for his brother, and it hangs by there memorial for him in there living room. And it also turns out the the GI in the fore-ground holding a machine gun looked like his brother and the same type of gun he used.

I'd like to do another rendition of the drawing.

Thanks,
Bebop

I'm 99% sure your talking about Captain America Vol. 3 #32:

that's exactly it, thanks a ton. I'll post a pic of the finished product once i get it scanned in.

Hmmm that comic book looks interesting. That's obviously Srgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos so why is that the Modern Cap? He should have his WWII shield instead of the rounded one....

Maybe Cap was time traveling from the present to WWII to give them a hand

According to Wiki, Captain America started using the round shield in Captain America Comics #2. Cap is rarely shown in WW2 era issues using the triangular shield. Heck, I've never seen him use that particular shield in flashback issues personally(though he did use a replica of the shield from Vol. 3 #3-#8).

And the issue in question is indeed a flashback issue, and it's the story of how Cap visits a vetern on his deathbed, and the tale is told of how Cap saved that vetern during the Battle of the Bulge in WW2.

Wow, just found a bad copy of the pic I did. In forsight it's not bad considering I did it when I was 10 or 12 but from my perspective now it blows. I'm totally doing another.

Thanks again Duke.
