  • Sure thing, I had to look up issues because I couldn’t remember as I read them years ago. Some of these will be campy because they are old, but they are some good stories:

    • Cap 193-200 (Madbomb)
    • Captain America 253-254 (Baron Blood story —> the Civil War MCU movie has a moment that parallels what happens in this comic but different outcome)
    • Cap 372-378 (Streets of Poison)
    • Cap 450-453 (Man Without a Country)
    • Civil War (not a Cap comic per se, but a good arc)
    • Cap 170-176 (Secret Empire)

    There’s probably a lot more like his fights with Nuke, fights with US Agent, his partnership with Falcon and being a White patriotic symbol partnered with a Black man (Sam Wilson - Falcon) from Harlem, Winter Soldier, and a lot newer ones




  • I’m curious which comic you read exactly? I’m questioning the comment about the always “blind and unreasonable patriotism” you mentioned.

    Cap in the comics continually goes against the government and corruption since his re-introduction in the 60s. He’s always been a man for the people.

    He talks about the American Dream and wears the Stars and Stripes specifically because he is fighting for what America should be and has continuously been about fighting to ensure that all people are provided equity and inclusion. He even threw away the costume and became Nomad for a while because he was so disgusted with America (the storyline mimicked Nixon and Watergate). He’s fought nationalists, nazis, and neo nazis.

    Edit: not trying to downplay your personal feelings. I’m just generally curious what you read because that’s not my experience from reading an omnibus containing 60’s to mid-2000’s.
