Captain America's journey has been intertwined with America's progress throughout the decades. Known as the "Sentinel of Liberty," his character has frequently provided socio-political commentary on current events as well as inspiration and warnings concerning the future. This work explores the interconnected histories of the United States and Captain America, decade-by-decade, from the superhero's introduction in 1940. Through a chronological analysis of Captain America's arc--from his origins to Chris Evans' portrayal of him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe--this book examines how Captain America's story provides a guide through America's tenure as a global superpower, holds a mirror up to American society, and acts as a constant reminder of who America can and should be."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 00 $a Captain America $c (Fictitious character) 650 0 $a National characteristics, American, in comics. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American, in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Superheroes. 650 0 $a Patriotism. 655 7 $a Comics criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Film criticism. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D44D9F72141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
