CAPTAIN AMERICA: GREATEST HITS

Celebrating the release of yet another Marvel movie (c'mon DC, wise up!) this time is the Sentinel of Liberty, Captain America: The First Avenger. Here are what I consider the greatest hits Alex Ross has had with the character.

This is the best example of why Alex Ross rocks. He told, only in images, all the history of Cap and made a flag in the process. It's brilliant! People who don't know Cap's background can immediately make out his origin just by watching this poster. Trust me, I have it and people get it and now with the upcoming movie-origin they'll think of this poster.

Left to Right: Captain America from a promo for the Avengers/Invaders mini-series; the redesigned suit Alex made to be worn by Bucky, the new Captain after Steve Rogers' death; the life-size bust of Cap which sports so many details it's insane; and, yet another redesign Alex did for the Earth X trilogy in this very simplistic yet striking cover.
