COVER BY: Gerald Parel WRITER: Ed Brubaker PENCILS: Luke Ross THE STORY: The monthly CAPTAIN AMERICA returns with a bang! Where has the Captain America from the '50s been the past few months, and what part of our modern world has welcomed him? And what will Steve and Bucky do when an old enemy tries to become a revolutionary? TWO AMERICAS begins here! By best-selling writer Ed Brubaker with art by Luke Ross. Plus, the start of a Second Bonus Feature - NOMAD by Sean McKeever and David Baldeon! This book is new and unread condition, and will ship in a single bag and board. Fox News has quoted Ed Brubaker on the Captain America furore that Bleeding Cool picked up on this morning. The latest issue of Captain America features a protesting crowd, that appears to be part of the “Tea Party” organised protests in the USA, against the current adminstration. The character Falcon, a prominent black superhero comments that he wouldn’t be welcomed in such a crowd, and explains to Cap that it’s an “anti-tax” event. And the signs are quite specific – and one is a little on the explicit side. Ed Brubaker told Fox he didn’t write the protest sign “Tea Bag The Libs Before They Tea Bag YOU!” that has caused some concern and that Marvel will be removing it from subsequent prints of collections of the story. He blames the lettering and production process of the book. But it’s the conflating of allegations of racism and the anti-tax movement in the comic book that is continuing to cause issues amongst the kind of people who like whipping up such issues. Fox News also quotes a number of anti-Tea Party and anti-Republican tweets by Ed Brubaker over the last few months. A Disney-bought Marvel is of course an even easier target now, and the fact that this was a Captain America comic that seems to demonstrate a specific political bias is like a red rag to a bull. Especially when said news source has been accused of repeatedly publicising this movement and exaggerating its impact.
