These days, with the political landscape of America being so dark, a President who's a narcissistic moron, and even Captain America being the leader of Neo-Nazi group Hydra, perhaps it's time for the re-emergence of an old hero for a bit of escapism. This October, British company Titan Comics will launch Fighting American No.1, bringing the hero forward in time to 2017!
Here's the PR...

The Cold War superhero returns – originally launched in 1954 by the creators of Captain America, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby!
When the 1950s heroes find themselves trapped in the modern world, how will they handle what society has become, and what dangers will they face?
With new villains to contend with and enemies from their past pursuing them, what daring adventures could Fighting American and Speedboy find themselves in now?

I'm not a huge superhero fan but have enjoyed some now and again. This looks like it could be really entertaining and, most importantly, fun! (Something lacking in recent superhero stuff I've seen, Deadpool being the obvious exception.) I've never heard of him but I do like the fact that it's not a remake, it's taking these heroes and firing them forward in time to right now. Should make for some funny stories!
Well, I hope it's done with a sense of fun. The old series was. Let's hope this series doesn't take a dark turn.
Fighting American played it straight when the comic started but Simon and Kirby turned to humour in later issues.
It only lasted for seven issues in the Fifties so it wasn't played straight for long.
