Captain America Stores

A Question for all you avid”Comic Book Hero”fans who like movies?

Now is clearly the reigning era of the comic book-to-Hollywood transition for all those wonderful corner store booklet adventure tales that we only used to read about some years past.Artistic pictures that accompany so many a tales of heroes vs villains,good against evil,right against wrong.Superman and Batman led the way with big screen blockbusters series.They were subsequently followed by exciting heroes and teams like Spawn,Blade,X-men,Spiderman,Hulk,The Punisher,The Fantastic Four and Ultraviolet to name some of the biggest in order of release dates.Hollywood is now the domain of the hero/villain empire for many future tales to yet be discovered.Captain America was already done in 1990 with little attention paid(even”Red Skull”as his nemesis).I hear Robert Downey Jr.is to pick up the role of Ironman next year.I would like to see something made for Prince Namor/The Submariner to bring us good action stories.Name which hero(s) you think should be next and explain why you think so.

i think it’d be awesome if they could somehow reach an agreement about copyright and make a justice league movie. batman, superman, flash, wonder woman, aquaman, these are all american icons; everyone knows who they are, we don’t need a back story. i say, put cyborg and green lantern in there and just go for it.
you gotta be kidding me about downey jr playing iron man, dude, please tell me that’s a joke. that’s not even close to his type of movie, he’s the sleazy hollywood d**chebag or the drug addict type actor; i mean, can you honestly see wayne gale putting on that armor? too short, too. i hope they rethink that, it should be someone like clive owen.

“The Boston Police Strike, long forgotten and too long ignored, is here described with great drama and verve by Francis Russell. It is an extraordinary moment in the history of Boston, as well as an important event in the nation’s labor history.”-Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United StatesOn September 9, 1919, an American nightmare came true. The entire Boston police force deserted their posts, leaving the city virtually defenseless. Women were raped on street corners, stores were looted, and pedestrians were beaten and robbed while crowds not only looked on but cheered. The police strike and the mayhem that followed made an inconspicuous governor, Calvin Coolidge, known throughout America, turning him into a national hero and, eventually, a president. It also created a monster: for two days, more than 700,000 residents of Boston’s urban core were without police protection, and the mob ruled the streets.”Francis Russell is wonderfully aware of the subtle but important distinctions of class and neighborhood that have been so much a part of Boston’s history. A City in Terror is well written, full of shrewd social analysis and cultural history, and provides an account that gives perspective to today’s serious confrontations.”-Robert Coles, New York Review of Books”Compelling and lively . . . A City in Terror has plenty of drama and heroes and villains. Russell is at home in the history of the era and in Massachusetts, and he tells his story well; A City in Terror makes stimulating reading.” -David M. Reimers, American Historical Review”A fascinating study and social history of one of the strangest episodes in American labor history . . . as well as an unforgettable lesson in the machinations of big-city and state politics.”-The New RepublicFrancis Russell was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1910. He attended Boston-area schools and during World War II was a captain in the Black Watch Royal Canadian

News of the arrival of the Pilgrims with their fearless captain, Miles Standish, had been brought to the nearby tribe by Indian scouts. The tribe had watched their landing, the cutting of logs for this single large house that sheltered the Pilgrims and then tools and stores, the placing of cannon on the hilltop and the enclosing of the settlement by a tall stockade. They had seen the women washing the clothes in the water of some chilly stream, they had watched this doughty leader of the pale faces, Captain Standish, helping to make soup in a large iron pot, tending the sick, and even digging graves during those first hard months in the New World. Whatever came to his hand, he did aswell as he had fought in Flanders and guided the Pilgrims to the shores of Plymouth. It was so with the others of this little company of strangers in the redman’s land. Although an occasional glimpse of a painted face looking over the stockade, a swift dart shot from an Indian bow in the forest, or the echo of a savage yell terrified them, they went on hunting and staking off plots for gardens and houses, and cutting logs and stalking game in a fearless way that interested the tribes. The Indians were as much a part of America as were the pine trees and the deer. It was their land on which the Pilgrims were settling and the savages could have surrounded them and killed them at any time that they chose. Instead, they were watching their new neighbors and waiting. As he knelt, unseen, by the window the Indian runner touched the rough logs of which this first house in Plymouth was built. The wigwam to which he would return was
