Captain America is a 1979 American made-for-television superhero film loosely based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, directed by Rod Holcomb and starring Reb Brown. The film was followed by the sequel Captain America II: Death Too Soon, also released in the same year.[1]
Although this was not a widely seen made for television film, it influenced the comic books in a few ways, such as Steve Rogers's choice of personal vehicles and his skill as a talented and educated artist in penciling illustration.
