Wow, not even bothering to disguise it, are you—apart from not giving any kind of name, of course.
SERIOUSLY.
This bold Anon clearly has no idea why Captain America was created and why.
A disenfranchised outsider who became a larger-than-life American icon created by two outsiders who became American - nay, global cultural - icons in themselves.
Both from Jewish-American immigrant families, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby saw the looming threat of Nazism and the folly of American isolationism for what it was over a year before the rest of the US.
Joe Simon and Jack Kirby braved Far Right thugs at home to take Steve Rogers into a war to end racism. This wimp from Brooklyn underwent a transformative process, as any serviceman did - including Kirby himself who served in Europe after D-Day - to prove that no matter your background, a gruff, hard-smoking Jewish cartoonist or an skinny Irish-American scrapper, you could be a hero.
Freedom wasn’t the prerogative of any one race or religion or nation. You could aspire to be Captain America, whether you were Jack Kirby or Steve Rogers or my grandfather or yours.
Anon, Captain America does not belong to you, or anyone who thinks the way you do.
Anon, get out of comics.

Again, I’m posting this anonymous chucklehead’s “question” simply because it’s so blatantly offensive and he seems so oblivious to why it might be that way that it’s almost funny.
Oh good. One of these guys.
Why you should be reading Rocket Raccoon (Marvel Comics)
With the whole world set to fall madly in love with Rocket Raccoon, variant art king Skottie Young takes over the Guardians Of The Galaxy fan-favourite for a Saturday morning cartoon romp. The bold art style might be a culture shock for those used to a more mangy Rocket, but this is a fun throwback to Bill Mantlo’s zany mini.
Why you should be reading The Wicked + The Divine (Image Comics)
A thematic successor to Gillen and McKelvie’s cult Phonogram, the uber-cool team-up behind Young Avengers blast out a Morrison-like mashup of reborn gods, preaching their gospel through the speaker stack and character design straight from the covers of fashion mags that never were. Smart, sexy and genuinely touching, if you’ve ever felt music speak to you, then you’re already converted.

Glamour Cat Woman
I know posting a blonde Catwoman will probably get me thrown out of fandom, but the blonde on black outfit contrast is so strong I kinda want to see it in the comic too!

The Livewire episode of the older Superman cartoon was always a favorite.
I forgot about Livewire! The Superman answer to Harley Quinn in terms of making the leap from cartoon to comic. AND she was voiced by Tank Girl’s Lori Petty!

An Extremely Brief History of Canada’s Golden Age of Comics
Canada had its brief Golden Age of comics during World War II, when imports were restricted — and Canada’s supply of comics from the U.S. was choked off. To fill the sudden comics void in the Canadian market, a home-grown comics industry sprang up. Like the American comics of the time, they were explicitly patriotic and featured superheroes fighting the Axis powers.
Nelvana of the Northern Lights, an Inuit demigoddess, is perhaps Canada’s first superhero (of any gender). She was first published in August 1941, a few months before Wonder Woman debuted in the U.S. Other Canadian heroes of the time included Johnny Canuck and Dixon of the Mounted.
To save printing costs during wartime, the Canadian comics were primarily printed in black and white. Comics from this era are commonly known by the rather unfortunate nickname of “Canadian whites.”
After the war, imported American comics again flooded the market, and Canada’s brief Golden Age of comics died out in the late 1940s.

This is an incredible story. Real education.
