scans_dailyGreetings, People from Planet Houston. Today I am proud to give you another chapter of the exciting adventures of Captain America. I can safely assure you that it will be one hell of a ride. Enjoy.
There was a time when the comic book of Captain America became an anthology of horror stories while still containing one story related to Cap. Today I decided to brought you the last Golden Age Captain America story before the 50s. Today I bring you a Weird Tale of Captain America.
This cover depicts an excellent epic battle between Good and Evil. Only one of them will taste the sweet Ambrosia that is Victory while the other will fall to oblivion. Today's entry will deal with the most metal battle between Captain America and the Red Skull as they'll fight on Hell itself!
By the way, the following story had 6 pages so I will simply use 2 pages.
Our story starts with the Red Skull living in Hell after dying (Maybe the Red Skull was left in a coma after fighting Captain America on 1945 and his soul went to Hell). He has been planning his vengeance on Captain America and manages to get an evil Magic Book that can damn the soul of anybody whose name is written in its unholy pages (Death Note?). The Red Skull writes the name of Captain America and our good Cap is teleported to Hell by Charon. Cap knows something is fishy and demands an audience with the Devil. The Devil informs Cap about the Red Skull's treachery as well as bringing the Red Skull to face Captain America. The Devil tells them that they must fight to the end and whoever wins will return to life with his soul intact. Cap and the Red Skull are ready to duke it out.
Was it all a Dream? Did Captain America and the Red Skull had a Mystical Experience? One thing is for sure, comrades, and it's that this story was pretty cool.
By the way, it's time for a game. When this story was done in 1949 there was no such thing as several people using the mantle of Captain America but nowadays we know that Steve Rogers wasn't the only Captain America. The game is simple : Provide a theory of which Captain America was the one that had this hellish adventure (I think you may also feel free to provide a theory for the Red Skull). The one that provides the best theory wins a chance to ask me which story of Captain America I shall post next (The Deadline will be tomorrow at 6 PM and it's imperative that you tell me which story you want thru a personal message in order to avoid revealing the surprise). Let's have some fun!
Farewell for now, mine dear comrades.

Date: 2011-07-20 05:44 am (UTC)Why? Well, the basic theory for me is I don't think the forces of Heaven would ever allow Steve Rogers to get sent to hell, regardless of what kind of paperwork meddling Red Skull managed to get into, but Commie Smasher Cap? They probably had the inside info he would eventually become evil, so maybe they were hoping this would scare em straight or something.
As for Red Skull? Well, its simple. He really did die, but he was too evil for Hell so they sent him back to the mortal world. Same reason no one has killed off the Joker in DC yet IMHO.

Date: 2011-07-20 07:52 pm (UTC)What happens to a person's consciousness when they are in suspended animation/cryosleep/long term unconsciousness? Would one dream? Would the unconscious mind continue, active, as the body sleeps?
We know the Devil has many faces in the Marvel universe. Asmodeus, Baphomet,
Lucifer, Mephisto, Satannish....the list goes on.
These demons primarily have dominion over the dead. however, as of 1949, neither Steve Rogers nor Johann Schmidt were dead......they were frozen in ice, and in deep hibernation in a gas-filled cavern, respectively. Neither reached "Brain Death"....which might indicate they had brain activity, and the capability to dream.
Two mortal enemies...neither with any psychic protection, dreaming not for 8 hours at a time, but for decades.
What tender tidbits these two would make for Dr. Strange's old sparring partner, Nightmare!
Steve's awakening? Simply a final illusionary waking, with a small red mindfrak from Nightmare, as he continued adrift, both mentally and physically, in the ice.
And for Johann? Decades of hellish torment at the hands of Nightmare, who had his perfect victim....one who would sleep for a mere 8 hours, but indefinitely...a victim whose rage and hatred, imagination, and actual experiences could keep a demon sated indefinitely.
Thoughts?

Date: 2011-07-20 08:44 pm (UTC)It has also come to mine attention that you mentioned Jeff Mace. A theory of mine is that the Red Skull that was in Hell was really the American Spy named George Maxon (The Red Skull that appeared on Captain America Comics # 1 and # 3) that decided to have revenge on whoever was using the mantle of Captain America after Maxon had been killed on an explosion. The magic book only had the words "Captain America" written so that could mean that Jeff Mace was the chosen one and that could also explain why he would wake up after beating the Red Skull.
Anyhow, I think your theory is pretty good, Cap'n.
