Popular Post Cat Posted April 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) This is nice to see, an article about Captain America's 82nd anniversary, leading into a piece about Jack Kirby, and it's a main story on CNN. Fantastic to see the king get this kind of exposure. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/31/opinions/real-captain-america-history-jack-kirby-schwartz-ctrp/index.html Edited April 5, 2023 by Cat mjoeyoung, Cushing Fan, bc and 19 others 15 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that guy, and he's absolutely OBSESSED with Kirby. I love his Kirby-infused work he does. Anyone who hasn't read Transformers/GIJOE is missing out. It's a wild ride, literally like a child playing with their favourite toys and coming up with an outlandish adventure. Fun, fun stuff.

KCOComics Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Great article. I never knew about the protests and death threats over Captain America. Through today's lens you just assume everyone would be pretty aligned with an American Hero punching Hitler in the face. But a full year before Pearl Harbor, the country wasn't yet united against Germany. Larryw7 and Krismusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a documentary about this, free on tubi now. To be honest, it's probably longer than it needs to be and not the most enthralling, but worth watching nonetheless. https://tubitv.com/movies/562030/kirby-at-war Randall Dowling and SpideyFein 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 When I saw this it was a main, bolded article on the CNN front-page. To me that was thrilling seeing the King getting that kind of exposure to a wider audience. I hope many 'civilians' have now been exposed to the Kirby name and are aware of the vital contributions he made to the MCU they know and love. Or used to love.

Call me crazy, but maybe it had something to do with the ethnic backgrounds of the founders of the Soviet Union being the same as Kirby's. Or the fact those despots murdered million of Christians during the Holodomor. Or possibly it could have had something to do with the Red Scare bombings of the early 20th century etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the Nazi’s invaded.Russia AFTER CA 1 came out. So seems doubtful that Nazi sympathizers upset with the CA1 cover were upset due to anti-Communist sympathy. More likely they were just anti-Jewish bigots. Did not know that Jewish Jacob Kurtzberg born in the USA was the same ethnicity as non-Jewish Russian Lenin and Georgian Stalin. LoL! Again doubt that is why CA1 was attacked by Nazi sympathizing “America firsters’” who favored US isolation and abandoning England and France. FDR, history shows, got US entry into WWII right and so did Timely. Edited April 10, 2023 by sfcityduck buttock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
