Review of 'Essential Captain America, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
If you are a fan of Captain America, you will probably like this. This is a compilation of early Captain America comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The only major drawback to the collection is that it is in black and white; however, you do get a lot of comic in this volume. I think for readers today this can be a voyage down the good old days of comics when plots were simple (and fairly cheesy at times) but usually fun. You knew clearly who the good guys and the bad guys were. And they often wrapped things up in an issue or two. Clearly these were comics for kids, but I found them good fun to read, usually one or two issues at a time. Overall, these were very entertaining, and I may look up other volumes.
