Captain America and the First Thirteen #1

A flashback tale involving Captain America, the first woman in his life to be code-named “Agent 13” and the French resistance; all set during WWII. It’s a fun espionage tale that’s been rebooted somewhat for the feature film “First Avenger” as opposed to the backstory set by Lee and Kirby during Capt’s reappearance in the mid '60s.

Great art and a pretty good story to boot. I’m just an old-school comic collector and preferred the original Agent 13 storyline better. I thought it was more exciting, less sexually charged and was slightly more plausible in having this 13 be the (much) older sister of the later 13, Sharon Carter. Here, she’d have to be Sharon’s mom or grandmother.

Worth Consuming.

Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
