Cyxodus – been a year since I last looked at this. I found the mp3 on my old computer and put it back online for your listening enjoyment.

Nice Ernest. Shame you didn’t have it with the record. Still how can anyone expect a 7 year old to hold onto anything in Mint condition.

I used to have this issue. I was about 6 or 7 years old. I used to play and read this issue to death. The record got broken and the pages have long disappeared. Back in 91, I was telling a co worker of mine about this comic and he got very excited, until I told him what happened to the comic, thats when he told me the value in mint or near mint condition WITH the record. Let’s just say I could have bought a house with that.

That lack of being current is what I like about Cap. He was a leader in WWII and probably called a lot of younger men son. The fact that he does it now – just shows his inner confusion. His big flaw is that he doesn’t belong in this time. Sure this time needs a person like him, and when is Captain America, those flaws aren’t that important, but when he is Steve Rogers it becomes a big deal. Which is why he almost always retreats into the Cap persona.

One of my favorite issues of Cap last year gave us a picture of his social life. Steve and his girlfriend go out with one of Steve’s friends who is in his 80s. It turns out that this is who Steve hangs out with when he isn’t around his superhero buddies.

It makes sense for Cap to think of people as “son”. He feels old or more accurately feels he SHOULD be old. As for Superman – he is just weird. But who can ever really understand an alien (especially a DC alien).

Cool stuff.

One thing that’s always bothered me about Cap– he usually talks down to his fellow heroes by calling them “son” and the like.

Yeah, he’s older, but he was FROZEN for decades, so he still should be in the mindset of a 20/30-something (although with dated ideals). Did people refer to each other as “son” in the 1940s even though they were the same age? I think not. It’s something that’s always annoyed me and doesn’t help keep him current. Superman is often written the same way as well.
