Summary

"Debuting in 1941 -- almost a year before the events of Pearl Harbor -- Captain America was initially conceived by Joe Smith and Jack Kirby as a pop-culture argument for US intervention in the European war against fascism. His fortunes faded with the end of that conflict, but in the 1960s, Stan Lee teamed up with Kirby to bring Cap back. This collection includes his very first appearances from 1941 alongside key examples of his first solo stories of the 1960s, in which the newly resurrected her of World War II struggles to find his place in a new and unfamiliar world. As the contents reveal, the transformation of this American icon marks a parallel transformation in the nation itself." --, prelim. page
