Shield, Captain America, 2014
Comic readers first met Captain America in the 1940s. Strengthened by an experimental super-serum and armed with his signature shield, he fought the Axis Powers in World War II. He returned in the 1960s, when readers learned that he had been held for decades in suspended animation. Since then, the hero has played the part of a man out of time, his traditional values and viewpoints commenting upon contemporary social and political issues, including racism, corruption, and terrorism. Story lines such as those in the 2014 film Captain America: The Winter Soldier have encourage global audience awareness of America's conflicting ideas and ideals. |
