Captain America and the Falcon #188
Title: Druid-War
Writer: John Warner
Artist: Sal Buscema
Villain: Druid, Alchemoid
Regulars: Peggy Carter, Leila Taylor
Guests: Gabe Jones, Val de Fontaine
Captain fights with the Alchemoid in the middle of the Druid's maze. Is he an
artificial creature or a man? The way the Druid speaks, it sounds like an
android, as even its name suggests. Captain America considers his opponent to
be a man. I'm assuming Cap is wrong.
Cap has difficulty overcoming the Alchemoid, until he notices that he's
strongest when standing near the walls. Cap deduces that they're his power
source, so he tricks the Alchemoid into destroying the walls. The Druid gives
the Alchemoid extra power through the turn of a knob, but the Alchemoid
overloads and explodes. "A man has just died". So speaks Captain
America. The Druid doesn't care, except to express disappointment at his
failure.
Cap battles and easily defeats the Druid himself, but he escapes in a flying
Egg. That's what it looks like and that's what Cap calls it.
Meanwhile, Sam Wilson is being held in a SHIELD facility to determine whether
he's still under the Red Skull's control. Leila Taylor has been brought in
– kidnapped? – so that he can see a familiar face. He only wakes up
from his coma briefly.
SHIELD arrives to save Captain America, but he honestly doesn't need the help.
He's mopping up the last few of the Druid's men. Agent Eric Koenig offers to
take Cap to the Falcon.
