"'''The Strange Death of Captain America'''" is a 1969 [[story arc]] written and illustrated by [[Jim Steranko]] that ranpublished in ''[[Captain America (comic book)|Captain America]]'', an [[American comic book]] series published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The story follows the superhero [[Captain America]] as he struggles with his lack of a [[secret identity]], while taking on [[Rick Jones (character)|Rick Jones]] as his new [[sidekick]] and fending off the fascistic terrorist group [[Hydra (comics)|Hydra]] under its new leader [[Viper (Madame Hydra)|Madame Hydra]].
 
Steranko began working at Marvel in the late 1960s, having gained a profile as a popular illustrator and comic book artist on the basis of his avant-garde and [[surrealist]] art style. In developing his run on ''Captain America'', Steranko sought to reverse what he saw as deviations from the World War II-era story formulas that had initially generated acclaim and popularity for the character. His run is distinguished by its use of a cinematically influenced aesthetic, characterized by heavy use of answering shots, pan and tracking sequences, dramatic lighting, and reaction inserts.
