Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Captain America is a 1964 comic series from Marvel Comics, published as one of the stories in the split-book Anthology Comic Tales of Suspense. The series was initially written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Chic Stone.This was Marvel's first solo series for Captain America, a patriotic superhero who'd been created for Marvel's predecessor Timely Comics by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941. Captain America had already been introduced to the shared Marvel Universe in team book The Avengers, which established that he had been frozen in ice since World War II (the 1950s Captain America, Commie Smasher! stories published by Atlas Comics, another of Marvel's predecessors, were initially ignored).Tales of Suspense was already running an Iron Man series, starring another member of the Avengers, and was swiftly moving away from its original role as an anthology of one-off science fiction tales. The new Captain America series was preceded by his guest appearance in Iron Man, which introduced Cap to any regular readers who didn't also read The Avengers - and then Tales of Suspense immediately became a split-book with the two heroes, dropping the science fiction tales completely.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Captain America stories continued until the final issue, #99, after which solo Iron Man and Captain America books were launched to replace it. However, the new Captain America comic kept the ongoing Tales of Suspense numbering, starting with #100.

comment
There‘s a very similar situation a few issues later, acknowledged by some Lampshade Hanging in captions. Cap's asked to demonstrate how he'd fight his way through a prison riot. He doesn't realise that the riot's a real attack on him - the prisoners have already escaped their cells and the Deputy Superintendent he spoke to is an imposter.

comment
An exhibition battle between Captain America and a team of athletes becomes very real after Baron Zemo's assassins replace the athletes. This acts as a mirror to the story's Action Prologue, in which the same assassins seem to defeat Captain America - but it's then revealed to be a training exercise, with one of their comrades wearing the costume.
