4 August, 31 Captain America Comic books originated in the united states in the late 1800s, the comic book contains Everyday language, slang, and idiom, as well as color and a sophisticated interplay between text and imageall serving a therapeutic, explanatory, and commercial purpose in American culture. Since the 1960s the comic book industry has been dominated by the two major publishers of superhero booksMarvel and Detective Comics. DCs official name for almost 50 years was National Periodical Publication; Marvel was known as Timely Comics from 1939 to about 1950, and then as Atlas Comics for much of the 1950s. The first real comic strip is usually acknowledge to be Richard Felton Outcaults The Yellow Kid, which debuted in 1895 in Joseph Pulitzers The New York World and served as a marketing tool to boost sales of the newspaper. then the real comic books started to come out around the years 1930-1950 which is known as the golden age of comic books because of the revolutionary super heros never heard of at the time. Comic books blossomed into a distinct entertainment industry after 1938 when Jerome Siegal and Joseph Shuster created Superman, the initiator of the superhero genre that would remain the cornerstone of the comic book industry. When DC comics introduced Batman in 1939, it eventually pushed out the crime and detective stories from DCs title. The popularity of the superhero in the 1930s led to the creation of other characters such as Wonder Woman, Captain America, The Flash, and the Green Lantern. Marvel comics introduced enduring characters such as the Human Torch and Captain America.

Ruiz.2 World War II was a boon for the comic book, perhaps because it promoted two prevailing ideological visions of the time: New Deal-style social reform and WWII patriotism. The DC superhero comics tacitly stressed a common interest in public welfare and strong federal government. Marvel comics took up the cause of WWII patriotism in its creation of Captain America, showing Captain America punching Hitler in the face. Captain America AKA. Steve rogers popped on the comic book seen in 1941 created by Joe Simon and jack Kirby. Captain America, the best human being, strong, fast, good-looking , And he doesnt smoke or drink just the model American citizen. His trademark is he is America Or , rather, he is the American flag. Clad in red, white and blue chainmail, with a red , white And blue invincible shield demarcated, by a giant star and initialed, wing flipped head piece . Marvel's biggest success during The Golden Age, and one of the top-selling super heroes of all time, Captain America is, first and foremost, a manifestation of patriotism. His debut preceded his county's entry into World War II, and he rode the wave of public spirit that followed Pearl Harbor; thus he identified himself forever with a period that may have been The Golden Age of the United States as much as it was The Golden Age of comic books. When the war ended, Captain America seemed to lose his purpose. Within a few years he was retired, and a short lived revival in the 1950s seemed to confirm fears that he had become irrelevant. His successful return in the 1960s however, ingeniously took advantage of the problem: Captain America was portrayed as a relic of a less complicated era awakened like Rip Van Winkle.

It represents both defense and a target, and when thrown like a discus, it also functions as a surprisingly effective weapon. A safeguard that draws fire and then fights back, the shield is the perfect emblem for Captain America. Basically," says Joe Simon. "we were looking for a villain first, and Hitler was the villain." This idea was made quite clear by the Cover of Captain America #1, which showed the new hero, dressed in red, white and blue, punching Adolf Hitler in the face. The date was March 1941, nine months before Pearl Harbor. The timing was perfect, and the unusual move of starting a new character in his own comic book would prove to be very successful. Cap's inspiring image also carried implicit intimation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, crippled by polio and yet a charismatic leader during the Depression and World War II. But there was more to Captain America than the simple patriotic ideal; dozens of other super heroes would wrap themselves in the American flag without making an equivalent impression on the reading public. Cap was a very special hero destined to appeal to readers for a very long time.
