“Madness in the Slums”

Written by Stan Lee at the height of Marvel’s first age of social consciousness.

The Falcon becomes Captain America’s partner at the end of this issue, and the comic is retitled “Captain America and the Falcon” beginning with the next issue. The Falcon will remain a recurring character until Captain America #222.

M.O.D.O.K. sends an android (“Bulldozer”) to Harlem to create havoc in hopes of drawing out Captain America. Captain America and the Falcon team up to stop the rampaging robot before he can spark a race riot.
