The hero clad in the American flag, a symbol of patriotism and freedom, was originally created by writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby for Timely Comics, which eventually became Marvel Comics. He is one of the best known heroes in the history of comics, whose patriotic look and powerful actions made him a popular character throughout World War II, until the Red Skull took his mantle.
Then in the early 1960s, Stan Lee resurrected Captain America in a story that explained how he had lain frozen in an ice flow since World War II and how the Avengers found him, believing him to be dead. This positioned the Captain as an embodiment of old-school ideals adrift in a changing world, a contrasting figure to both celebrate and critique modern society.
In the 1970s, writer Steve Englehart took Cap deeper into troubled waters. His lengthy stories reflect Vietnam-era antiwar sentiment and the cynicism of Watergate and other scandals in telling stories that show the Captain struggling to maintain his ideals and fight for justice both abroad and at home. His ultimate defeat at the hands of his old partner Bucky (later to become Nomad) reveals the true nature of his enemy: a corrupt government.
In more recent times, Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of the book Between The World And Me and a highly regarded public intellectual, announced that he would be writing the title starting in July for Marvel Comics. Coates says he chose to write Captain America because of the symbolism of the hero’s enduring optimism and the idea that no matter how bad things get, there is always hope for change.
