Synopsis:
This is a 40th Anniversary special edition. It details the origin of Captain America and focuses on his early adventures in 1941-42.
Notes:
-Signed by: Frank Miller on 05/28/2016
-This story is uninked except for the last page by Rubinstein. He is credited specifically in the letters page.
-Page one is an homage/recreation of the cover of Captain America Comics #1
-The title of this comics is "Captain America Comics". This is a reference to that 78 issue Golden and Atomic age series. Normally this title is just referred to as "Captain America".
-An important addition to Captain America's history: President Franklin Roosevelt presents Cap with his circular shield. FDR notes that it has incredible properties and was created in a metalurgical accident.
-This issue contain a letters page: Letters to the Living Legend. Letters are published from Eric L. Watts, Tom A. Field, and Rob Imes.
Trivia:
Captain America says it has been a long time since he has been to England? It is revealed in Captain America #257 that, since his revival, Cap has returned to England every year on the date of Bucky's disappearance in 1945! Maybe his full memory has not been restored at this time...
Quote: “In fact, I'm told the metal in the shield has some incredible properties. If only the metalurigal accident which produced it could be duplicated.” -Franklin Delano Roosevelt
