Here's another take from yesterday. My 4th celebration started early, the ballpark by me has been doing fireworks all weekend.
New York City streets, parks and plazas year round serve as showcases for art, celebrations and commemorations of subject matter that varies as much as the diverse population of the city itself. A commemorative and artistic display that stirred quite a bit of controversy was the 13-foot bronze statue of the Marvel superhero Captain America which was dedicated at Prospect Park in Brooklyn by the carousel at Children’s Corner on August 10, 2016. The Green activist in Brooklyn protested saying that the area of the park where the statue was on display for 2 weeks was a designated ‘commercial free’ zone and the celebratory nature of the statue was in fact a commercial promotion. I didn’t agree, we’re talking 2 weeks here, but probably have a bias as you will see.
So 2016 amongst other things, mark the 75th anniversary of the Captain America which is why the 13-foot bronze statue was commissioned. Right on 42nd Street, on 330 West 42nd Street to be specific, in 1939 Martin Goodman founded Timely Publication as he jumped head first in the emerging and increasingly popular medium of comic book, publishing it first comic book, Marvel Comics with the human torch in October of that same year. Goodman hired what would be the creative team behind the star spangled hero, the creative team of Joe Simon and comic book notable Jack Kirby and in March 1941 published Captain America #1 which almost sold a million copies (funny how in today’s society any moron can get more views than that on social media in a day). Timely Comics would take the name Marvel Comics by 1944, continuing to operate out of New York City, though after the war, superhero publications lost the public interest. In 1961 after years of the superhero genre really being almost non-existent, Stan Lee, who actually was Goodman’s wife’s cousin Stan Lieber had been hired by Martin Goodman back in 1939, a Marvel Comics writer and editor came up with a concept of a comic book geared for an adult audience instead of juvenile audience with the Fantastic Four. Different from other comic book publishers, Marvel established publications that looked at ongoing issues, adult relationships and characterizations, the precursor of the modern graphic novel that appealed to wider audience. Stan Lee (his pen name if you haven’t figured that out yet) revived Captain America in Avengers #4 in 1964 with the storyline that he had been in suspended animation after WWII which he had been literally and figuratively. Cap was popular once again, and when I was lad in the mid 1970’s, I got my first copy of a Captain America comic book at a small store on Bergenline Avenue, I’ve always been an avid reader, but this was different, left with a cliff hanger for Cap and the Falcon, I couldn’t wait to get the next issue, I was hooked. Every month I was saving my quarters (actually the first issue was $.20 believe it or not), get Captain America, the Avengers, Ironman, Thor, the X-Men. I did so until my freshman year in college when money really got tight and priorities shifted so my days of being a comic book geek were over. Most of my comics are still at my folks, some probably worth some money, if the mice haven’t turned them into bedding. Captain America always was my favorite though so you can image when Marvel Entertainment started the Captain America-Avengers movies, wow I was delighted. Life is funny, my youngest daughter has become a Captain America fan and was surprised to find out her daddy was a comic book geek who also loved Cap. The modern Captain America is just as principled and stubborn as the character I loved in the 1970’s and 1980’s, though there have been changes to keep up with the times. During my comic book days, Captain America, Steve Rogers lived in the lower eastside of Manhattan as did Sam Wilson the Falcon. In the cinematic version of movie, the Steve Rogers character played by actor Chris Evans is quoted many times and is actually inscribed on the base of this statue, ‘I’m just a kid from Brooklyn’. Thus why when Marvel Entertainment, which is part of the Disney family since 2009, decided to have a bronze statue created for the 75 anniversary celebration, they chose a local Brooklyn artist to create it. Red Hook native David Cortes designed the 13 foot one ton Captain America statue in his 13st Studio in Gowanus. David currently continues to live in Brooklyn and was commissioned by Marvel Entertainment and Comicave Studios to make this celebratory commemorative statue. I went to the dedication at Prospect Park, and it was fun and interesting. The audience, a real mix, youngsters with Captain America masks and shields but many, many adults my age and older also donning the fictional hero’s garb. I actually met and spoke to older gentleman who had read the Captain America comic back in the 1940’s, really amazed at how popular the character still was.
