Captain America: White # 1 2015 NM-

Captain America: White # 1 is the first chapter of a six-issue limited series released in September 2015. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Tim Sale, it is the fourth installment in their famous "Color" series, which explores the early, defining moments of iconic Marvel heroes (following Daredevil: Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, and Hulk: Gray). 

The issue is a nostalgic and emotional retrospective narrated by Steve Rogers in the present day. 

• The Framework: A modern-day Steve Rogers reflects on his time with his sidekick, Bucky Barnes, and the deep sense of loss he felt after waking from the ice.
• The Flashback: The story jumps back to 1941. Steve recounts Bucky's origin—how a young James Buchanan Barnes discovered Steve’s secret identity at Camp Lehigh and subsequently trained to become his partner.
• A Special Mission: Cap and Bucky join Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos on a high-stakes mission during "The Big One" (World War II).
• Action & Conflict: The team parachutes into enemy territory to intercept Nazis moving explosives. The mission serves as a backdrop for Steve’s protective and sometimes stern relationship with Bucky, as he tries to teach the young boy that war is far more dangerous than it appears in propaganda movies. 

• Creative Team: Jeph Loeb (Writer), Tim Sale (Artist), and Dave Stewart (Colors).
• Bonus Content: The first issue was double-sized and included a reprint of Captain America: White #0, which had been released seven years earlier in 2008.
• Themes: The series focuses heavily on the bond between Steve and Bucky, framed through the "color" theme of love and loss.
