Avengers Annual in 1987 certainly contradicts events around Bucky. Avengers & The Silver Surfer challenge a powered-up Grandmaster, who had them all fighting Legions of The Dead in different dimensions. These included the likes of Captain Marvel, Drax, and Bucky who challenged Cap directly - "How's it going, Cap? Kill any partners lately?"
