PHILADELPHIA — The newest superhero has hit comic stores across America, and like so many before him, he is owned by Marvel. Unlike so many before him, he is black. Now, for the real surprise: He is Captain America. Truth: Red, White & Black, a new mini-series to be released monthly over the next half-year, re-creates the story of one of the most popular superheroes of the last century. Marvel chose Philadelphia for an official debut, with a signing and events at Atomic City Comics, the South Street store regarded by many in the industry as the nation's largest African American-owned comic shop. The original Captain America character, Steve Rogers, was a frail kid rejected by the Army, but permitted to be part of a military experiment with 'Super-Soldier Serum' and 'vita-rays.' He acquired the world's most perfect body. He became the Nazi-fighting Captain America, a.k.a. the Sentinel of Liberty.
