Back when war was popular — the WWII era up to the Eisenhower administration — Captain America was our national superhero. And the bad guys were the Commies — they were EVERYWHERE. Fortunately we had Richard Nixon there to sniff them out (this was before he became president).
Anticipating the new movie reviving Cappy (as he is fondly called), Golden Age of Comic Books has reprints of his classic adventures available for you to enjoy.
So go enjoy!

A full feature is available for you at Golden Age Comics.
