Captain America and the Falcon (vol. 2) #1 (May 2011): "The Falcon Fights Alone! Chapter Two"

Note that "The Falcon Fights Alone!" is identified as "Chapter Two" in Captain America (vol. 1) #144. This story has a distinct plot from "Chapter One" ("HYDRA Over All!") and a distinct artistic team, but it continues the page numbering from Chapter One. Thus, "The Falcon Fights Alone!" begins on page 11.

John Romita penciled and inked the very last panel of this 10-page story. Other than that, Gray Morrow did all of the penciling and inking of this story's artwork.
