The
Adventures of Captain America concludes with the good captain betrayed and
imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. Now it’s up to Bucky to lead a revolt
and to restore Cap’s confidence in himself. The events that unfold explain why
Peggy Carter is noticeably absent from this story. True in the past, she’s
Agent 13 and doesn’t meet with Steve Rogers until he’s finally on the front
supporting the troops. But over time, her part in the development of the Super
Soldier program has evolved to include her in Rogers’ story from day one. So, I
kept wondering why she’s not in this reboot of the Captain America origin. Now
I know and so will you if you read this awesome miniseries.
In
my opinion, this series in the definitive Captain America origin story of the
modern age of comics. Sadly, you never hear anyone talking about this obscure
series from 1991. I keep finding these four books in dollar bargain bins at
comic shows and stores. It’s a steal! If you are a huge fan of Captain America
like I am, you really should grab this series. Over time, I think The
Adventures of Captain America is going to become a hidden gem and its value
going to sky-rocket. Thus, it’s going to become even harder to find. So take
advantage of the savings now. Your collection and wallet will thank me.
Worth
Consuming!
