The Wellington Comic Lover's Guide to... Captain America

The star-spangled man with a plan to help you read his adventures! I could do this all day, it’s the Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide to Captain America!

Who is Captain America?

As America entered the Second World War, scrawny but patriotic Steve Rogers is selected for a top-secret experiment and transformed into the perfect super-soldier. Rogers fought valiantly for the Allies until plunging into the Arctic Ocean on a mission, never to be seen again. Frozen in hibernation until the modern day, Rogers returned to don his red-white-and-blue costume and mighty shield to defend the United States and the world as Captain America.

Recently, Cap’s ally Sam Wilson, the high-flying hero the Falcon, took over for Steve as Captain America, and now the two share the role.
