Captain America was not the only superhero fighting the good fight under the star-spangled banner. Oh no!
From a piece in the Los Angeles Times about the long-forgotten Fighting American...
Where Cap and his sidekick Bucky battled Nazi goons, the Fighting American and his sidekick Speedboy (who looks like Bucky with peroxide-blond hair) faced off against nefarious Communists during the Cold War 1950s. Along with the Simon autobiography, Titan has published a collection of Fighting American's battles against crazed Commies that's perfect for perusing after you see the movie "Captain America: The First Avenger."
Imagine two brothers who are opposites: Johnny, who's strong and handsome; and Nelson, who's sensitive and small. When crusading newscaster Johnny uncovers a Communist plot, the villains mortally wound him. As he's dying, Nelson swears to avenge him -- and agrees to take part in "Project Fighting American."
