In Memoriam: Captain America
The Main Event, Scoop, Friday, March 09, 2007
“Here lies Captain America, defender of Democracy,” wrote Scott Thien for
the Indianapolis Star. “Dead — at least for now.”If we just
ruined the story for you, we apologize. And then we’d have to ask if you’d been
under a rock or off-planet for the last few days. Since Wednesday of this week,
there’s been little else in the mainstream media except the death of Captain
America.“What does this mean? Can the pulverizing patriot really be
dead, shot down on the courthouse steps after 66 years of battling villains from
Adolf Hitler to the Red Skull? Will the killer or killers be captured? The only
way to find out, says Dan Buckley, president and publisher of Marvel
Entertainment, is to ‘read the book’ as the story line unfolds,” said the Denver
Post Wire Services.USA Today, Fox News, and numerous other
outlets covered the events of Captain America #25, which was released on
Wednesday and disappeared from stands just about as quickly. It’s already
commanding a premium price on eBay.And it’s not just Cap’s fellow
Americans who have taken notice.“His first cover saw him punching Adolf
Hitler in the face and he entered his golden age after the United States joined
World War II. But he soon faded in popularity after the war and was retired in
1950 before returning in the 1960s,” Agence France-Presse’s website, AFP.com,
reported.
