Comic Books and Independence Day Go Hand-in-Hand
Comic Books and Independence Day Go Hand-in-Hand
Last weekend, the United States of America celebrated its national holiday on the 4th of July, Independence Day. The holiday is celebrated in remembrance of the US declaring its independence from Great Britain with the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Common festivities unique to this holiday are fireworks displays, family parties, barbecues and, ceremonies honoring the United States. It is traditional for to wear red, white, and blue or anything with an American flag on it. A comic book superhero is a great example of a patriotic figure who represents the United States of America and who’s costume emblems the American flag. He is known as Captain America, a fictional character created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. His patriotic character was created to represent the fighting powers of the US during World War II, and first appeared in comics in the 1940s.
Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly young man. He was given an experimental super soldier serum to make him stronger to help aid with war efforts and his human abilities were enhanced to perfection because of the serum. The character is a little different than other superheroes because he doesn’t have super hero abilities. He is the ideal, perfect human being that has achieved perfection, strength, and conditioning. His costume, which has an American flag on it, is also indestructible and can be used as a weapon.
These characteristic traits made him the most popular Marvel Comic’s comic book character during World War II, and an American indestructible super soldier. His popularity after the war ended and production stopped for a little while. Marvel comics tried to revive the character in the late 1950s but, were unsuccessful. In recent news, Captain America had a newly enhanced comic released on July 1st in celebration of Independence Day. It is a mini series called Captain America: Reborn #1. The series starts off where the last comic ended in which Steve Rogers was arrested on accusations of being a terrorist and was killed, or so people thought. Captain America Reborn, a limited series, will reveal the truth behind the death of Steve Rogers, who in fact didn’t actually die.
Captain America was intentionally created as a political figure. Comics are another channel in which political thoughts and ideas are expressed. In one issue, there is a picture of him punching Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler which became one of the most popular issues sold. There are other political comics such as the Female Force series. Having political comics is another way to get more people involved in current events and the political system.
