CAPTAIN AMERICA PAR JACK KIRBY :
Ditko sur Captain America, ça existe (MCP #80 & 81, dessin ET scénario, dans l’ombre du « Weapon X » de BWS) :
connaissais pas
Pareil…mais ce n’est pas étonnant. le premier volume de Marvel Comics Presents, c’était 175 numéros et 4 segments presque à chaque fois, donc quasiment 700 histoires courtes…et pas grand chose en V.F.
J’ai quand même l’impression que sur tout ça, la saga la plus connue reste le Weapon X de BWS (et peut-être aussi le Black Panther : Panther’s Quest de Don McGregor mais on ne l’a pas encore eu en V.F.)…
madripoor saga aussi
y a la saga typhoid parfois reeditée
Le comic-book adaptant le film (lui-même tiré d’un comics) n’a pas l’air mieux…
Une couverte de Joe Jusko pour l’adaptation du film visiblement (puisqu’il y a le Crâne Rouge rital).
L’hommage de John Cassaday à N.C. Wyeth :
Ah pas mal, merci pour tout ça Marko. Vu que le long métrage de 1990 est sorti aux States deux ans après son tournage, je n’avais pas pensé à vérifier s’il y avait eu une version BD. Le machin a du passer totalement inaperçu à l’époque (comme le film d’ailleurs)…
celui là je connaissais 
Bob Hall encré par Tom Morgan, ça sera lisible et péchu à défaut d’être super séduisant.
La couverture est plutôt honnête, d’ailleurs.

Pub !
CAPTAIN AMERICA PAR ROGER STERN & JOHN BYRNE :
Un extrait d’interview de Roger Stern, qui explique pourquoi il a quitté la série après 9 épisodes :
That gets a little complicated. Marvel was starting to crack the whip on deadlines, and all the editors were under pressure to get their books on time. I’d had some stomach trouble midway through our run on Cap , and John was about to get married, and Jim Salicrup was understandably worried that we would fall further behind. I thought we could pull ahead in just a matter of weeks – my digestion was already back to normal, and I knew that John’s work ethic was as strong as mine – and to prove it, I sat down and plotted the next three issues straight through. Jim was still uneasy about the deadlines, and so he decided to schedule a fill-in by another writer. I pointed out that we already had a fill-in underway; Frank Miller was drawing a stand-alone Cap story that I was going to script. (It eventually saw print in Marvel Fanfare .)
In those days before royalties, Marvel had what was called a « continuity bonus. » If you wrote or drew six consecutive issues, you got a bonus. And so on for the next six, and the next. A fill-in before issue #258 would set all of our bonuses back.
But beyond that, I was worried about losing sales momentum on the series. We’d been working hard to build up the readership, and I knew from my days as an editor that fill-ins usually cost you readers.
Back during those early days of the Direct Market, when the greatest percentage of sales still came from the newsstand, it was a given that sales would dip after each fill-in. It could take a book’s regular creative team as much as three issues to get the readership back up to the pre-fill-in level.
Well, I couldn’t persuade Jim not to schedule a fill-in. And, looking back, if I had been in his shoes, I might have done the same thing. But I wasn’t in his shoes. I was the freelancer, and I didn’t like the way we were being treated.
I’d worked with Jim a long time and I really didn’t want to come to loggerheads with him. So, I took back all three plots, tore up the vouchers, and stepped away from the book. I figured, better to leave Cap on an up note with the 40th anniversary issue.
J’aime beaucoup la série des Silver Screen Heroes de Joe Phillips. Des posters vintage qui imaginent les stars de l’âge d’or d’Hollywood (mais pas que) en super-héros, comme Marilyn Monroe en Power Girl, Humphrey Bogart en Hellboy ou encore Clark Gable en Iron Man.
Pour Captain America, Robert Redford est le Vengeur Etoilé et Peter Cushing est le Crâne Rouge (excellents choix).
