Somewhat inexplicably but not completely, I saw an advertisement for a comic book convention in Seattle in the Portland Mercuy.

And I saw this as a major draw.

"Meet the Man Who Killed Captain America.
ED BRUBAKER".

The death of Captain America is a major story, echoes of the Death of Superman in its effect on the media (and echoes of cynics pouring back in time to point to other deaths of the two superhero)...

... but, jeez. Ed Brubaker is the writer of it? In the mid-1990s, I never would have guessed.
