Make Mine Paperback Week Forty-Six: What I Read On Summer Vacation: Captain America: Truth TPB #1

MMP continues to discuss the comics the hosts read while on summer vacation. This week, the discussion is on Alex’s pick, Captain America: Truth (2022). This incredible story by Robert Morales does not shy away from uncomfortable truths in American history. Although the story is fictional, the backdrop is real. The concept of the U.S army experimenting with eugenics on minority soldiers may be tough to believe, although it was a reality that is often swept under the rug. The cartoon style of artwork by Kyle Baker does well to soften the tone of an otherwise serious story. As society tends to look fondly on the past with nostalgia it is important to remember that it was not always pretty back in time. This is an excellent example of how a comic can be both informative while maintaining the reader’s interest
