005 - Captain America - The Sentinel of Our Shores

In this episode we continue our discussion of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon and the events that led them to join forces and create the character of Captain America. We crack open Captain America Comics #1 and pour over the origin story of “98lb weakling” Steve Rogers. We wrap up the episode with a reading of a prose story contained in the issue. We recruited Tom Taylor from Indiana Jones Minute to tackle the narration. We hope you enjoy.

We’d love to know your thoughts on this event over in the MET Facebook Group: Baxter Building Breakroom.
