I've missed out on a lot, it seems. I read this page & it just seems so current & topical, what with the current controversy about America's ( lack of ) leadership, moves to block illegal immigrants, the " War on Terror " & Homeland Security, & our involvement in a war that's very reminiscent of Vietnam. This was made about 20 - something years before America's current situation, but hang me it doesn't seem to connect right smack into it. Other people need to see this !!

That was the absolutely beautiful. I read Cap sporadically, throughout the late '70's and 80's and never really collected his books. But even so, I realized even then his allegiances were to the IDEALS that the U.S. represented not to the government. So in response to the way he was portrayed in CW and Frontline I quote the guy from the crowd who has seems to recognized the real deal: "That IS him! That's the REAL Captain America." Wow. That was the absolutely beautiful.

By the way, your image 'what_if_v1_044_23_rougher.jpg' doesn't link to a larger version, it seems. AWESOME stuff, and I’m not even an American.
