In Timeslip, a hot artist of today is taken back to 1962 to get handed an assignment by Stan Lee. So what happens when Keith Giffen gets handed this assignment?
For the first time, you'll note that Timeslip allows the artist to reinterpret the idea as well as the look. Cap as America existed in the 90s, eh?
Too far?
But the idea is sound. While I wouldn't give up Steve Rogers (sorry, Marvel), making Captain America a reflection of the national identity is interesting. The perfect family man and commie-buster in the 50. A right hippie fighting the government in the 60s. Disco-Cap and his sexcapades in the 70s. The corporate tool of the 80s. And besides, here's what the 90s actually gave us:
and
oh yeah, and
...the horror... the horror...
So what does it mean if Captain America was killed in the '00s?

Why?
WHY?
Rob... it's a shield... it's not Kirby thech... It's not «steam punk»... It's a god forsaken SHIELD!
If Leifeld can make it in comics... we all can.
The more you know.
Bass: I think most people with his level of talent would stop short of publishing because they'd think it wasn't good enough. What you really need is a powerful delusion.
I am curious as to finding out what that electrical cord connected to the shield does though, if it even is electrical.
Any ideas?
My guess is that Cap is wired with neon.
Over here, Captain Canuck is acting all nonchalant as usual, but he's wearing Captain America's hand-me-downs for some reason.
And driving an SUV with a Green Peace bumper sticker.
Hey, a crime Liefeld is innocent of!
(Although I'm sure we could find a way to blame him.)
