  • Captain America
    The Star-spangled Avenger Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (Cover dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers , a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon. An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers. Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series. Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium with the release of the 1944 movie serial Captain America . Since then, the character has been featured in several other films and television series, including Chris Evans in 2011’s Captain America and The Avengers in 2012. The creation of Captain America In 1940, writer Joe Simon conceived the idea for Captain America and made a sketch of the character in costume.

This relationship has also informed superhero comics themselves – going all the way back to Superman’s debut in Action Comics 1 (June 1938). As DC President Paul Levitz says of the development of the superhero: ‘There was an enormous desire to see social justice, a rectifying of corruption. Superman was a fulfillment of a pent-up passion for the heroic solution’ (quoted in Poniewozik 2002: 57).

  • Monstrous Borders Hopes — Even to Rebellion,” and He Suppresses Her Joy with a Blow
    This action-packed panel from a 1977 Invaders comic book entitled “The Golem Walks Again!” (Roy Thomas, writer, Frank Robbins and Frank Springer, illustrators) features a colossus emerging from the rubble of a lightning-struck house in the Warsaw ghetto. “It has no name,” the last narration box states, but the following panel immediately provides it with a name: “It is a golem, come to protect us!” cries a Jewish girl. “I have heard that foolish legend you Jews have,” proclaims the Nazi guard standing next to her. “Such old wives’ tales can lead to false Monstrous Borders hopes — even to rebellion,” and he suppresses her joy with a blow. The “foolish legend” of the Maya Barzilai Jews can have a psychological impact, the Nazi recognizes, for it invites Jews to imagine them- selves as potentially powerful. Fast-forwarding three decades to Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglourious Basterds (2009), the golem legend is again evoked in the context of Jewish revenge. This time the “Bear Jew” character acted by Eli Roth—calling card: beating Nazis to death with a baseball bat—is rumored to be the golem of lore. The rumor even reaches the character of Hitler in the film who scoffs at the “fear-induced delirium” of his soldiers, who believe that the Nazi-killer is “an avenging Jew angel, conjured up by a vengeful rabbi to smite the Aryans.” In both these pop culture examples the golem legend provides the mythic basis for a fantasy of overturning power relations between Jews and Aryans. The golem itself is not created in the stereotypical image of the Jew, however, since it is a new entity that defies definitions.

McDermott Introduction By the mid-1970’s, many fans of the “Golden Age” of comic books had grown up to become writers and ultimately editors for the comics publishers, sometimes setting the nar- rative histories for their favorite childhood characters themselves. ​Many of these fans-turned- pro produced comics series that attempted to recapture the Golden Age’s excitement, patriotic fervor and whiz-bang attitude. ​The most successful of these titles were produced by Roy Thomas, who fashioned a coherent history of costumed heroes during World War II, and rec- onciled the wildly inconsistent stories of the 1940’s with tightly patrolled continuity initiated with the “Silver Age” of the 1960’s. ​With The Invaders (1975-1979), Thomas focused on the hitherto unrevealed wartime exploits of Marvel Comics’ early mainstays Captain America, the Human Torch, and Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner. ​In 1980, he moved to DC Comics and launched All-Star Squadron, which juggled the histories of the Justice Society of Amer- ica and nearly a hundred secondary characters.
