Jim Steranko, 1990s Jim Lee Cover Captain America for #700 Variants

Marvel is moving the needle once again by reusing old Jim Lee art for a variant cover. This time around, an old Lee drawing of Captain America has been repurposed for a variant for Captain America #700, along with a new cover by Jim Steranko. Marvel revealed the new and old covers in a press release today, while also revealing the premise of the milestone issue:

Frozen in time, awakened in a decimated future and once again a man out of his era, there is only one way for Steve Rogers to restore order and rebuild civilization—and that's to rule it as King Captain America!

Didn't we just go through that with Secret Empire?! Well, if Marvel is going to reuse old art, they might as well reuse old storylines too, we suppose.

"No dream, no hoax, no lie, this IS Cap and this IS happening!" said Marvel executive Tom Brevoort in the press release. "Guest-starring the Thing and the Hulk (or as much as is left of them), it's a celebration of 700 issues of star-spangled adventure! Plus, Mark Waid delivers an untold tale from Captain America's past, featuring the classic artwork of Jack Kirby!"

Look for this in stores in April.
