Slashdot Mirror
Captain America Dead at 66
jas_public writes to mention ABC news is reporting that comic book super hero Captain America has apparently tackled his last mission. "It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941 to incarnate patriotic feeling during World War II. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in a total of 75 countries. But resurrections are not unknown in the world of comics, and Marvel Entertainment editor in chief Joe Quesada said a Captain America comeback wasn't impossible."
Dead at 66?
According to the Captain America Wikipedia page (far more in depth than the encyclopedia britannica page I might add!), Steve Rogers was born on July 4, 1917 in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, to Irish immigrants Sarah and Joseph Rogers.
Anyway, lets hope this original & innovative storyline is as lucrative as the "death of Superman" thing DC ran a while back.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
Excuse me! There are some of us out here who haven't read Civil War yet! Ugh.
