DescriptionJack Kirby told us the origin of Captain America three times. First in 1941, when Cap was introduced to the world. Weakling Steve Rogers was injected with the super soldier serum by Dr. Reinstein, transforming into our hero. When Cap was reintroduced to the world via the Marvel Universe in Avengers #4, Kirby needed to remind everyone of how he came to be. So, shortly after he was given his own shared space in Tales of Suspense, Kirby once again told Cap’s origin. In Tales of Suspense 63 Kirby uses one five panel page to show the scene. We see frail Steve Rogers drink the super soldier serum handed to him by Dr. Erskine. Why drink versus injection? The Comics Code Authority. It was essentially forbidden to show someone getting an injection. The actual transformation happens over three panels, the first of which is the reaction shots of those watching it all happen. Why Erskine from Reinstein? I have my theories, but I can’t find anything that definitively tells us why.

Incredible! Love the Kirby-esque machine in the first panel! Great page!

A great two-page pick-up with so many strong panels - especially the second panel above which I think shows a Kirby-distinctive well illustrated dichotomy - Steve Rogers looks young yet old, frail yet strong and anxious yet determined.
