CAPTAIN AMERICA "Attack of the Asthma Monster" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Star-Spangled Avenger and His New-Found Friends...

...the Asthma Monster attacked a school, using a spray to cause almost everybody to display symptoms of the medical condition!

The only two people unaffected are two asthmatic students, John and Ruth, who had just taken their meds when the villain attacked!

Captain America, who has yet to encounter the fiend, takes the two eyewitnesses along as he tries to figure out where the criminal will strike next...

HE DID???

Read on, True Believer...

Written by Louise Simonson, penciled by Alex Saviuk, and inked by Fred Fredricks (except the cover which Al Milgrom inked), this never-reprinted 1985 one-shot promotional comic by Marvel and the pharmaceutical company Glaxo spawned a sequel after the Asthma Monster escaped from custody!

You'll See That Next Friday!

CAPTAIN AMERICA "Attack of the Asthma Monster" Part 1

You knew Steve Rogers was a scrawny guy before he was given the Super-Soldier serum...

...but did you know what disease he had?

You'll learn that today!

He did???

Officially, this isn't canon, but it's not an unreasonable concept...

Technically, asthma isn't a disease, but a "medical condition" brought on by a number of causes, but this never-reprinted Marvel/Glaxo 1985 one-shot giveaway was so interesting, we decided to run it anyway!

You'll see the conclusion to this titanic tale...

Next Friday!
