The Adventures of Captain America (1991) #1
#in the Golden Age Captain America comics that I’ve read#(which is not even up to when the U.S. joined WWII yet)#Steve did have this kind of reputation as an idiot on the military base#getting in trouble with his commanding officer and getting K.P. duty often#also the period of time between the assassination of Dr. Erskine and Steve becoming well-established as Captain America#was completely skipped over through a montage#so I thought this was actually a really great idea for a modern retelling of Steve’s origin story#building up how all of Dr. Erskine’s assistants were hunted down in the aftermath#and having Steve hidden by pretending that he’s just a regular but kind of stupid G.I. as an assigned cover#also I was surprised to see how well this portrayal of Bucky lines up with Ed Brubaker’s Bucky characterization#'I have a rep to maintain' -> 'everyone sort of looks the other way with Bucky'#it isn’t revealed that this is the case later in the book#but I like the idea that it was intentionally suggested to Bucky that Steve could maybe be a senator’s son#so that he would spread that rumor and get the word of Steve’s cover out on the base#though it’s not unbelievable that he would come to that idea on his own#marvel#steve rogers#bucky barnes#my posts#comic panels
