Anyway, Cap still has the control key for the Fourth Sleeper from last issue, but doesn&#8217;t know how to use it. He battles with the Red Skull&#8217;s agents, and is rescued by Agent 13, and they go out in pursuit of the Sleeper. Lots of good fighting throughout, although the end is a bit abrupt. One of the two pages edited is just a splash of the destruction when the Sleeper attacks, but another is kind of crucial to the climax of the story, so was a pretty bad cut.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/kirby\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2006\/02\/Marvel-Super-Action-3-1977.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3124\" alt=\"Marvel Super Action #3 [1977]\" src=\"\/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/kirby\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2006\/02\/Marvel-Super-Action-3-1977-684x1024.jpg\" width=\"448\" height=\"671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/kirby\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2006\/02\/Marvel-Super-Action-3-1977-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/kirby\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2006\/02\/Marvel-Super-Action-3-1977-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/kirby\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2006\/02\/Marvel-Super-Action-3-1977-624x933.jpg 624w, https:\/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/kirby\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2006\/02\/Marvel-Super-Action-3-1977.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Syd Shores inks the cover and edited-to-18-page story.
