ill. By Val Semeiks, Bob McLeod, Hi-Fi Design, and the Storybook Art Group. Captain America: an Origin Story. Pgs. 38. Marvel, 2014. $8.99
Steve Rogers was once an ordinary man living during the
start of World War II. He wanted to be a soldier, but he didn’t qualify the
regular way. Desperate to be a soldier, he took part in a secret research
project that turned him into a super soldier. The lab, however, was destroyed
while he was in it. Everyone survived, but he was the only soldier that was
made. Working as a secret agent, he became Captain America and the hero we know
and love today.
As far as origin stories go, this one is a little longer
than most of them and a few of the start pages could probably be cut out.
Nonetheless, the illustrations are detailed and engaging. The story of Captain
America will appeal to superhero fans everywhere. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE.
