Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1, back in March 1941. The issue was published by Marvel’s predecessor Timely Comics and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. However, the character had a very short first stage, since it stopped being published in 1950.
He got into the army by skipping physical tests. He got strong without stepping foot in a gym. He fought in World War II against the Nazis and tasted ice before Walt Disney himself. And when he woke up, they considered him the first of The Avengers. Come on, the Captain America biography is anything but boring; a hero made to measure by the creators of him in one of the most difficult moments in history.
After the war, Captain America seemed to lose his purpose, and he was progressively withdrawn from sale until 1950. In 1953, a last attempt was made to rescue the character, but it was confirmed worse; Cap had become irrelevant. The few sales marked the end of a first era of Captain America.
