Review/plot:
This issue of Fantasy Masterpieces has two Captain America stories from Captain America Comics #3, and then a bunch of monster and sci-fi stories from the 60s.

The Captain America stories show Cap solving some pretty mundane crimes while he's still based in America. Nice swordfight, though.

In the second story he fights a guy in an interesting Butterfly costume who can fly, but that's his only power.

In the same story, there's is an "imbecile"...

...that Cap kills with a dinosaur bone.

The Voodoo king story has some interesting Gene Colan art and has a nice bizarre ending. The Bruttu story was kind of enjoyable even though it's the common "man turns into monster and people attack him because he can't communicate" plot.

Ditko's time travel had some crazy art, especially in the futuristic scenes and the weird shaded close-ups, and the story idea - that time is a wheel and man keeps living out the same cycle over and over again - is classic crazy Ditko stuff.

Overall this wasn't horrible but it's kind of a cheat because besides the Cap stories these aren't Golden Age comics at all.

Quality Rating: C-

Historical Significance Rating: 2 - early Cap appearances but they're pretty worthless stories.

Chronological Placement Considerations: I would have preferred to put the 60s stories - especially Bruttu - in the Monster Age, but they're so self-contained it really doesn't matter. The Cap stories are pre-US involvement in WWII.

Well Cap straight up murdered that guy with the dino bone. No war, just a stab.

That time travel guy looks like he landed at Epcot.
