First in a 7-part series on the secret origins of Capain America; the story follows the story of Black Americans in the 1930s and 40s as the Depression gives way to World War II. Several Black men enlist in the army to serve the country that mistreats them, including Isaiah Bradley, who leaves behind his pregnant wife when his country calls . . .

So glad this graphic novel is getting attention again!

Thank you, Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney + for bringing attention to this brilliant reimagining of the origins of the "super soldier serum" and the eventual birth of (not the first!) Captain America. A necessary look at the ugly side of American history, although fictional, nonetheless rings true for the people of color who helped build this country, fought and bled for it, but weren't allowed the same freedoms and privileges of others.

Two Americas

Double V. Black men went off to World War II in support roles and came back heroes, only to have to fight again to be recognized as men. But what if one was touched by the gods? Received the transformation that made Steve Rodgers the Captain? How does that play out?

About Isaiah Bradley

Ever since The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series premiered, I've become very interested in Isaiah Bradley's back story. I'm looking forward to reading even more about him.

All prologue. Interesting enough. A little cartoony.

Part 1

Great read. Onto the 2nd one. I hope to do this as a collected trade , which is interesting take.

A little disjointed as you learn who these new characters are, but powerful to see these strong black characters stand up for what they believe in, in 1940's America.

How Captain America came to be

Excellently written story by Robert Morales who tells the story of how we get the super soldier serum by experiments done on people of color in WWII.

Awesome

Rooted in truth!
This is what Disney’s backdrop of isiah Bradley led me too. So far it’s worth it! Can’t wait to read the next!
