how do into captain america
>>

You don't.

If you like the page you've got in the OP, then Jack Kirby's 60's run is not a bad place to start. I'm usually hesitant to recommend Silver Age stuff to people new to comics, but if that's the kind of comic you're down to read then you could definitely go for it.

I think you could also go with Gruenwald or Brubaker's runs. The former if you want older, "classic" Captain America stories that still feel written in a more modern style. Brubaker if you want something from the 2000's.

Someone else who's read all these in full could probably give better suggestions but these are what come to mind.

I recently recommended Gruenwald to someone here so I'll just repost it

>About Captain America, you must read Mark Gruenwald's run. It's a little old but it doesn't feel dated. He wrote the character for 10 years and over 100 issues, starting from Captain America #307 until #443. It's not just the best Captain America run you'll read, it's one of the best cape comic runs, period. It's got action, thriller, mystery, Cap taking on supervillains of all kinds, Cap taking drugs of all kinds (well, okay, that was just one arc). The downside is that you'll read peak Cap from the start and will be left with earlier or later stuff that might be decent or good in its own right but doesn't reach the same heights.

>I'm not a huge fan of Brubaker's Cap (the 2005 series starting from #1, you'll find it easily) but it's probably the next best jumping point and a lot of people liked it when it was coming out. But don't read it before Gruenwald.

Yeah I'd say Gruenwald. You get the Serpent Society, Scourge, John Walker, the Skeleton Crew, it's a very good run.

I'd say skip ahead to the 60's and ignore what came before.
