MEET CAPTAIN AMERICA. Reprinting CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS [1941] #1. The Army is looking for a solution to the threat the Axis Powers pose to the people of America, and they discover the secret answer to their prayers: a super-soldier serum that will create an army of super soldiers. However, only one man receives the serum before it and its creator are destroyed: Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America. THE ORIGIN OF CAPTAIN AMERICA! Reprinting the Captain America story from TALES OF SUSPENSE [1959] #63. While the Nazi war machine marches on, President Roosevelt institutes a top-secret program, 'Project Rebirth.' In a secret lab, scientist Dr. Erskine gives army 4F reject and volunteer Steve Rogers the 'Super-soldier serum,' which turns him into a virtual superman. But a Nazi spy who got past security murders Erskine before he can create an army of men like Rogers, and is killed when he runs headlong into some electrical machinery. Rogers becomes the costumed Captain America, as a symbol of freedom, and begins a career of smashing spy rings and the like. A short time later, he also goes undercover as a buck private at Camp Lehigh, the target of mean-tempered Sgt. Duffy, and the friend of orphan mascot Bucky Barnes. When Bucky discovers Steve's double-identity, he becomes Cap's partner. In their first adventure together, they stop a squad of Nazis saboteurs and take out a German sub while they're at it.
