Creation of Captain America HC (2006) comic books

1st printing. By Thomas Forget. This book tells the story of Captain America, along with Superman, one of the most recognizable comic book superheroes. With enthusiasm that jumps off the page, the author introduces readers to the struggling writers and artists who created Captain America in the 1930s, when the United States was on the brink of World War II. The author explains how and why they infused Cap with American ideals, creating a hero unlike any others in the comic book pages. Readers will also see how the original twists and turns in the Captain America story lines have kept readers interested for nearly seventy years. Brave and bold, but also thoughtful and fallible, Captain America reflects the complex character of America itself.
