| Synopsis
| - After escaping the Avengers previously, the Sub-Mariner encounters Inuit worshiping a man in a block of ice in the north sea. Angrily he casts the frozen man into the ocean. The Avengers discover the body, which had been thawed by warmer waters. It turns out to be the hero of WWII, Captain America. His body had been frozen and preserved after a failed mission near the end of the war. The Avengers then attend a press conference where they are turned to stone by a creature with a mysterious ray.
Owing his life to the Avengers, Captain America tracks down the alien who explains that his ship crashed in Earth's ocean a long ago and that Namor promised to free his ship exchange for turning the Avengers to stone. Captain America makes it restore the Avengers back to normal. In return the Avengers try to free the alien's craft from the water and the Sub-Mariner attacks. After fighting him off, they finish freeing the craft and the alien departs. Captain America is then recruited as an Avenger!

| Notes
| - * The cover art has been homaged in What If? #29 .
thumb|150px
* Reprinted in Captain America #400.
* This issue marks the first appearance of Captain America in the "Silver Age" of Comics. His return was spurned from a teaser done in Strange Tales #114, in which the Human Torch battled a Cap impostor. Cap last appeared in Captain America Comics #78, albeit part of Atlas Comics attempt at reviving the super hero genre, however as these stories take place subsequent to the Second World War they were probably retconned into being stories of one of the many successors who took his mantle after the war. Cap's last "war time" story appeared in Captain America's Weird Tales #74
* At his last appearance, his partner Bucky was injured and government agent Betsy Ross became his sidekick as Golden Girl. The tale of Cap being frozen in suspended animation, and the "death" of Bucky were never told during the Golden Age, the flashback in this issue serves as the backdrop to explaining what happened to Cap after the war.
* Giant Man and Wasp, prior to appearing in Avengers #4 made a guest appearance in Journey Into Mystery #101
