Letters to the Living Legend (April 1980)

The letters page in Captain America #244 brought the exciting news that a new creative team would be taking over the book starting with issue #247. Writer Roger Stern would be paired with the dynamic duo of John Byrne and Josef Rubinstein, launching a truly definitive run on the title.  Byrne was already dazzling fans with his work on Uncanny X-Men and Fantastic Four, so the addition of a third title would have the virtuoso creator responsible for most of Marvel's flagship titles as the new decade began.
