I recolored Dale Keown's variant cover of The Incredible Hulks no.624 (2011) celebrating Captain America's 70th Anniversary. I wanted to see how Dale's art looked with a more classic color job on two classic characters.
Swipe for Dale's incredibly tight pencils that need no inks, just push the contrast up, the published cover with Peter Steigerwald's colors, and zooms.
With the Second World War over and Fascism defeated, the next threat to American democracy is Communism. Captain America and Bucky must face off against Electro, a super-powered KGB agent!
I’m not an American, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to draw my goat!!!
Come on, y'all already know what header is.
The story of Captain America is a simple one. A group of American scientists create a "Super-Soldier Serum" in anticipation of the USA joining the second World War raging in Europe. The first test subject is Private Steve Rogers, a patriotic but sickly young man who is given enhanced strength, speed and intelligence by the Serum. But before more serum can be made, a Nazi spy kills the only scientist who knew the entire formula, leaving Steve the sole beneficiary of the project. Steve is given the identity of Captain America, and acts as a spy-hunter and crime-buster alongside his young pal Bucky Barnes.
Most of Cap's adventures published before his comeback in The Avengers #3 are nebulously canon. Many of the contradict current Marvel canon, and modern comics have heavily implied that many Golden Age comics were in-universe propaganda loosely based on the real exploits of heroes in that era. Thus we've decided to publish this respect thread separately from the Captain America Thread.

Warning: These 1940s comics can get really, really racist with the depiction of non-white characters.

a crime against america
Love all of them, but if I had to pick just two favorites, the 1979 Diebenwald Motorcycle issue, and the 1978 If America Should Die issue would be my picks. Very happy to have them in the collection!
this is the majority of my collection minus a few pieces and a stack of comics in another room. My favorite character gets pride of place in my bedroom thanks to my wife allowing it.
Both versions cause I couldn't decide which one I liked better. Happy 4th of July to all Americans
