Tales of Suspense #64:Among Us, Wreckers Dwell

Review By:

Here, our hero and Bucky work to unravel the mystery behind the predictions of Sando and Omar. While “Among Us, Wreckers Dwell” serves as a retelling of “No Man But Captain America Could Solve the Riddle,” it reintroduces the tale to a new audience 24 years after the original. However, it remains, at its core, the same Golden Age story reimagined for the Silver Age.

Jack Kirby’s work does not disappoint, page by page and panel by panel, both honoring the original while introducing fresh elements. Stan Lee’s updated dialogue feels minimal compared to Joe Simon and Jack Kirby’s original plot, allowing the essence of the 1941 story to shine through.

Retelling and reinterpreting old stories is a grand human tradition—not just in comic books but across all forms of storytelling. Today, in 2025, we have the unique ability to examine both the 1965 version and the 1941 original, comparing them to draw our own conclusions.

But what makes this retelling special? What does it bring to the table? Beyond revisiting the schemes of Sando and Omar, we’re introduced to Agent 13—known in the original as Betsy Ross—an FBI agent investigating the same case as Captain America and Bucky. You can spot her in the fight scene I’ve included, battling alongside our heroes!

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on both versions of the story. Share your opinions below!
