Captain America's journey has been intertwined with America's progress throughout the decades. Known as the "Sentinel of Liberty," his character has frequently provided socio-political commentary on current events as well as inspiration and warnings concerning the future. This work explores the interconnected histories of the United States and Captain America, decade-by-decade, from the superhero's introduction in 1940. Through a chronological analysis of Captain America's arc--from his origins to Chris Evans' portrayal of him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe--this book examines how Captain America's story provides a guide through America's tenure as a global superpower, holds a mirror up to American society, and acts as a constant reminder of who America can and should be.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Richard A.
