Captain America, from his creation in 1941 to the new comics coming out today, has become a household name in the world of superheroes. One of the faces of the avengers and the American hero, he has continued to inspire children and adults alike in both times of hardship and in peace. I love seeing how Captain America has served as a symbol of true American values, and it is always so fascinating to see how Captain America, a character from a comic book, has influenced Americans throughout the ages. As a designer, the way Jack Kirby utilized his preferred medium to speak to the people of America in wartime and create a character that remains as strong today inspires me, as many other comic book characters do. Jack Kirby, however, created something that many people failed to do during his time: strengthen the sense of our national identity and inspire people to be better.
