For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon multiple comic book series, this collection includes Captain America's very first appearances from 1941 alongside key examples of his first solo stories of the 1960s, in which Steve Rogers, the newly resurrected hero of World War II, searches to find his place in a new and unfamiliar world. As the contents reveal, the transformations of this American icon thus mark parallel transformations in the nation itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA foreword by Gene Luen Yang and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Captain America and classic Marvel comics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-colour art throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Stan+Lee\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eStan Lee\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Jack+Kirby\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJack Kirby\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Joe+Simon\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJoe Simon\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Jim+Steranko\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJim Steranko\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+John+Romita+Sr\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJohn Romita Sr\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Penguin+Classics+Marvel+Collection\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePenguin Classics Marvel Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stan Lee,Jack Kirby,Joe Simon,Jim Steranko,John Romita Sr,Penguin Classics Marvel Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380384612515,"sku":"9780143135753","price":610.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780143135753_e95b9a12-a85e-4a60-8d5b-616ea267a194.jpg?v=1776455550","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780143135753","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
