SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 is written by yours truly and the great Evan Narcisse with line art by Eder Messias and Valentine De Lauro, colors by Fernando Sifuentes, letters by Joe Caramagna, and gorgeous covers by Taurin Clarke – just check out that image above!

The story follows our social worker turned super-hero Sam Wilson as he gets pulled by his cousin Billie into a billionaire’s scheme to use mindblowing technology to help Black farmers. But is it all what it seems? And what about that Red Hulk on the cover?

The book’s been a tremendous chance to play with huge super-hero adventure, delve into big sci-fi futurist fantasy, and explore the very specific ways this specific Black Captain America embodies, analyzes, and fights for the promise of America.

For more about the book, here’s an interview from the fine folks at the Captain America Comic Book Fans podcast with me and Evan:

Page from SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 showing a flashback sequence with Sam Wilson and his cousin Billie seeing their grandfather on the farm looking grimly at letters that he and other Black farmers have received. Snow is falling. In the last panels, their grandfather gazes solemnly out over his field as the snow falls and geese fly away. In the last panel, we see Sam Wilson as Captain America in real time flying out over the fields of upstate New York, glorious in the sun, accompanied by his falcon. But still a solemn feeling.
