Descrizione
CAPITAN AMERICA
|
il capitano statunitense superdotato simbolo della grandezza, della gloria e della forza dell’america: più volte mortificato, calpestato, fatto a pezzi e distrutto come la costituzione ed i principi democratici del suo paese, ma anche lui sempre poi risorto, ristabilito e ripristinato in qualche modo, a volte anche poco ortodosso ed eticamente non irreprensibile, ma sicuramente efficace, pratico, conveniente e redditizio |
seconda serie Corno 1982-83
Questa seconda serie Corno di CAP, forse superflua e pleonastica ma ugualmente affascinante e pregevole, ristampa materiale già pubblicato in precedenza, proseguendo la (ri)proposta cronologica del personaggio dal punto in cui si era interrotta su Capitan America Gigante n.14.
In questo numero 1 storia completa + 2 parziali (una che finisce e l’altra che inizia). Come spalla di Cap c’è un Falcon meno leggiadro del solito in quanto è rimasto di stucco per il micidiale tocco di gargoyle che trasforma in statue le persone, ma fortunatamente il super-uccellaccio pur impietrito non ha perso la sua consueta ed invidiabile abbronzatura. Non mancano nemmeno gli sbirri dello SHIELD capeggiati dal trasandato Nick Fury e dalla vanitosa Sharon Carter.
