\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Rocks Are Burning” is a 17-page Kirby story from\u00a0CAPTAIN AMERICA #197 [1976], inked by Frank Giacoia, lettered by John Costanza and coloured by\u00a0Phil Rachelson. Kirby returned to his 1940s creation in the 1970s with the 8-part “Madbomb” story which concluded in #200 (which conveniently came out right around the US Bicentennial) , so this is in the middle of that story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After the conclusion of\u00a0the \u201cKill-Derby\u201d battle of the previous issue, this story has Cap and the Falcon battling in the underground lair of the New Society in their search for the \u201cBig Daddy\u201d Madbomb.<\/p>\n

While they fight inside, General Argyle Fist leads his US Army squad looking for the enemy in the desert above. This is a bit of a placeholder issue, though it reads well as part of the overall 8-part\u00a0story, with a lot of action and one of those great big Kirby devices in the form of a sonic gun. I also like the General, who has some funny overblown dialogue in these issues.<\/p>\n
