The Baron Blood story was quite a challenge for my younger self. Frank Robbins version of the character depended in large part on his own distinctive style. When I tried to draw the character that way it came out very cartoony.

Those are two great issues in the Stern / Byrne CAPTAIN AMERICA run, but, I have always rated the Cap / Mister Hyde / Batroc two-parter slightly higher than the Baron Blood story.

Greg, I'm headed to find my copies of those issues for a reread. Thanks!

Hmmm. I do believe that the answer is ‘No’ to all of them!

Might be worth noting all of the Marvel writers he DID work with in the 70s, instead. Off the top of my head, Tony Isabella, Chris Claremont, Bill Mantlo, Jim Shooter, David Michelinie, Steven Grant, Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, Roger Stern, and Marv Wolfman.
