Team America #10



Team America (1982-1983) #10A
I actually had this issue as a kid. Not only that, I actually had the toys that this series was based on!!!
  
 It seems Evel Knievel got into some sort of legal trouble and wound up spending 6 months in jail. His Super Cycle toy set was uber popular at the time, but the toy manufacturer wanted to distance themselves from Evil so they invented Team America.
   
Team America was an off-shoot of mutants who first appeared in some issues of Captain America. (I had the Capt. super-cycle as well!) This issue doesn’t mention mutants nor has Captain America. What it does have is a cult leader who kills with a lethal solvent that turns unbelievers into dust. Pretty creepy.
   
The book wasn’t too bad. For a book written for a toy line, it was far superior to some. It’s no GI Joe, but it’ enjoyable enough to be worth consuming.

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
