> It sounds interesting to me. I haven't had an opportunity to read many stories involving Arcade and Murderworld, so that aspect of it is cool. And this story took place before he sliced and diced himself to make it look like Wolverine attacked him, so he was definitely wearing the leisure suit with the red sunglasses and big-@$$ polka-dotted bow tie!

What about Cap's old non-powered supporting cast? I wonder what ever happened to Josh Cooper, Anna Kapplebaum, Mike Farrel, Bernie Rosenthal (although she's appeared more than the rest in recent years, I think), Leila (Falcon's girlfriend), La Contessa Valentina Allegro de Fontaine (or Val for short, of SHIELD), Peggy Carter & Gabe Jones (of SHIELD), that Police Commisioner Cap worked for, that gang-boss Morgan, Cap's boyhood pal Arnie, etc. Maybe someone can tell me what ultimately happened to some of these non-powered characters. (Hopefully they didn't obtain powers, become evil, & get killed off...) I'd very much like to see The Falcon return as an occasional partner for Cap. Also liked Free Spirit. Don't care for D-Man at all. I notice that the recent Marvel Fanfare #1 says, on the cover, that the story is the final time Cap & Falc will team-up... Is that serious?? |
Posted by Tempest on April 15, 1997 at 09:23:11 PDT Coooooooool. Doesn't he wear platforms too? Has his real name ever been revealed? |

Don't hold me to this..I'll research this further...but I think he died some time ago. Perhaps even a couple of decades ago. That's why you don't see any Steranko work past the 60's or early 70's. Again, I could be wrong. I'll get back to you. |
Posted by Arcade on April 15, 1997 at 10:09:22 PDT > Coooooooool. Doesn't he wear platforms too? Has his real name ever been revealed? Sad to say, he probably DID wear platforms (he was the greatest Marvel creation of the '70s, you know...uh-oh, I'll get heat for that) And no, I don't think his name has ever been revealed, just that he was the son of a wealthy guy who Arcade offed to get all the $$$ to start up Murderworld and the assassin thing.

Posted by komodo on April 15, 1997 at 14:06:18 PDT > WHO would really win a battle between these two if it took place in the city and both combatants were prepared even though cap is physically stronger and faster , BATMAN is more cerebral and cunning so I would give the match to BATMAN brains over brawn even though CAPTAIN AMERICA is no dummy. Ha! Batman is very cunning, but not enough. Cap faces traps all the time. He would know all of them by now. He is physically superior, better trained, and he never gives up. Bats is good but mon capitain is better. |
Posted by Clay on April 15, 1997 at 16:10:53 PDT > > If we didn't think so, would we be here? To borrow a much-cliched line, "Captain America is the best there ever was and the best there ever will be!" No disrespect to Batman, but if a vote was taken based on honest, sensible opinion and not popularity, Captain America would have won the Amalgam fight! Anyway, Hail Cap! > Also Cap fights for his country!! Not because someone killed his parents!! Not because someone killed his best friend!! His fight has nothing to do about vengeance whatsoever!! Cap does it because he wants to!! If nothing tragic happened to Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker,I doubt that they'd do anything to help people out except maybe give some of their bucks to charity!! Hail Cap!!! > Cya Hey, hey, hey! Talk down about ol' Brucie boy all ya like |

> Steranko did some SF/Fantasy book covers, and an incredible amount of "The Shadow" book series covers (recently re-released as trading cards in one of the Steranko sets). He also became a publisher of Prevue magazine (http://www.prevue.net/). He also did some female semi-nude comic-theme artwork, which has been collected here: http://www.sigma.net/fafhrd/steranko/nudebabe.htm Umm...thats all I know, I think. Regarding this, anyway. -DM |
Posted by David Medinnus on April 15, 1997 at 16:33:11 PDT > I liked her. What happened to her? She sold herself to Superia (SP?) for a year in exchange for a cure for Cap's pre-HR degenerative condition; she showed up undercover in the Siren miniseries trying to bust Taskmaster. I haven't heard of any subsequent appearances. I found her much more interesting than most of Cap's last romances; I hope Mark Waid brings her back. -DM |

Well, many of these characters are before my time, even. If you know about Free Spirirt, than you must have seen Arnie Roth, Cap's boyhood friend in the issues she appeared in. He died shortly before Mark Grunwald left the book. I believe Mike Farrell became a member of the Watchdogs. The Contessa appeared in the last issue of Cap (HR # 7), and appeared in a few of the Punisher issues (latest series) featuring S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as the whole Double Edge crossover and aftermath in which Nick Fury died. I haven't seen Peggy in a while. Other than that I don't know. My interpretation of the Marvel Fanfare cover was that it meant before they "died" in Onslaught Marvel Universe. Of course they have already teamed up again in HR issues of Cap.

> Tom Of sorts . . . Have you seen it? (The Italian Red Skull, etc.) I first saw it advertised on a "Coming Attractions" listing in my local movie theatre lobby. I waited for months and even saw a poster advertising it at one point, but it finally went straight to video. Fun for Capfans, but really pretty lame. |

> > Fightin' for freedom and keepin' the faith, > > Captain America > Ahhh...what's the difference, Cap? > Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Well, Spider-Man, the difference is that some of us get more hype than others and end up having 2 million mags and a TV show, while others of us get shifted off to a whole 'nuther universe where we are drawn badly and where the stories are even worse. Those of us stuck in bad universes need all the good space we can get and really don't like sharing it with others who have more than enough space to go around. No, I don't mind talking with our friend about you or our adventures together, but I do think that most folks tune in to this board to find posts about me, not about their favorite wall crawler. Hey, Alvaro even set up a space for you so that you can receive all the fan mail you need/want. All I'm asking is that my space be used for it's main purpose, questions and comments about me, Captain America! With warmest regards, Captain America P.S.--Thanks to you and the others for watching after New York while some of us are stuck here in bad anatomy land! Keep up the good work! Hopefully in a few short months, we'll be right back there with you and we can round up some bad guys together. What do you say? Oh, and by the way, sorry for sounding a little jealous up there, I just haven't been the same since I was drawn by Rob Liefeld. I haven't been myself lately! |

> > Well, he is alive in the Heroes Reborn titles, and speculation is that the HR version will return to the MU after HR is over. Technically though, he is still dead in the MU. This seemed like it was going to be changed though, since someone blew up his grave, and no remains were found. There was also another clue that he wasn't really dead, but I forget what it was. The Punisher killed Fury in an insane stupor, after Doc Samson injected Punisher with drugs to help him, which were sabotaged by Spook to make Punisher think that Fury killed his family, thus enraging Castle to the point where he killed Fury. Like I said, he may return, though after HR.

Posted by Tempest on April 18, 1997 at 09:38:03 PDT Does anybody remember that hokey storyline which supposedly explained why Captain America was found in a block of ice in the North Sea? It involved a Nazi agent named Lyle Dekker who posed as a special effects artist for Democracy Pictures. They were making Captain America serial adventures, which Dekker was trying to sabotage as an agent of the Red Skull. I was just curious whether the explanation posed as part of this storyline still stood. |
Posted by Rob on April 18, 1997 at 10:23:37 PDT
They'll have to explain why Cap mentioned Newfoundland in Avengers #4 all over again, if the Dekker explanation doesn't still stand. #220 was a bit hokey, I suppose, but the issue before that, the one about the movie serial (#219) is pretty good, in my opinion. |

That they would. I agree, #219 was pretty fun reading, though a bit hokey according to today's standards. But I'm sure we'll be saying the same thing one day about today's stuff. I'm having real fun though, overall, reading the backissue run. Sometimes it makes you yearn for the old days. **sniff** |

I've only read their first two issues and wasn't too impressed. Garney's art looked good occasionally, but some of it I didn't like, such as how Sharon Carter was depicted, ignoring how she had looked previously.

What I think happened is this: Liefield had pretty much already finished a bunch of stuff for Cap when he was kicked off. They had announced the PLatt issues long ago, and since comics always work a few months ahead, he was basically finished with his 12 issue run. Marvel suddenly got a brain, and ditched him, leaving him with 5 or so issues of completed material and nothing to do with them. So they just went back, doctored the costumes and edited the names, and wa-la, a whole new pile of crap is born. Dollars to donuts these issues are the exact issues we would have been getting as Cap if Marvel hadn't dropped him. It might make for an interesting footnote, if not an interesting story.

I've only read one the first issue of the FF Heroes Reborn but I thought it much better than the Cap storyline, though the pace was a bit too fast. At least Jim stuck with the correct origin and has a decent art and story telling style. Mike.... |

Although I have not read any of Jim Lee's FANTASTIC FOUR, and have no idea what it was really like, I heard it was pretty good, except for the fact that there was a little too much story packed into the comics.

Who's your favorite Cap villain? Just curious to see if everyone says the RED SKULL. |

Writing wise, it was okay, given that it wasn't Jim Lee writing at all, but Stan Lee. I'm not sure how much they thought the average fan had read, but I for one had already read all the original Fantastic Four stories, and to see the first 10 issues of FF rehashed and crammed into 2 1/2 new issues was pretty aggrivating. If it's a new approach, lets see some new stories. I liked the old ones the way they were. -Roscoe

> Who's your favorite Cap villain? Just curious to see if everyone says the RED SKULL. Depends on what you mean by villain. Yes, the Red Skull is the great Cap villain, and if we were forced to limit him to one issue and one fight, it would have to be the Red Skull. However, Baron Zemo II (oh, right, Citizen V, sorry) and the Serpent Society are also favorites of mine. But the coolest is definately Batroc the Leaper. Personally I'm hoping he's decided to go straight after his heart to heart with Cap, and will become a hero. -Roscoe

> > I can see not liking some of the art, depending on your style. And I thought issue 344 (Cap vs. Ronald Reagan turned into a giant lizard) was way too silly. > > The recent Waid/Garney stuff > I've only read their first two issues and wasn't too impressed. Garney's art looked good occasionally, but some of it I didn't like, such as how Sharon Carter was depicted, ignoring how she had looked previously. And I can't remember if I said this before, but I liked the Stern/Byrne run as well. And artwise, I really dig Mike Zeck. |
