What Really Drove 1950s Captain America Crazy

It's 1954, and faux-Cap and faux-Bucky have just stopped some commie spies from stealing the "firing pin" to the new "atomic cannon." How do they celebrate?

Uhhh...guys...duck and cover? Bunkers? Protective eyewear? Lead codpieces?

I'm just sayin', that much radiation is probably what drove him nuts...he's already showing the effects with that little speech...

From Young Men #25 (1953), as reprinted in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (1968).

    Don't forget to put sticky tape on the windows and you should be safe at home when the bomb falls!

    Heck even if the radiation is dangerous that blast must be like a quarter of a mile away.Good to see Hydra's brainwashing techniques still working fine on Captain America too.
