This time, it's Captain America.
Captain America was created in 1941 to embody patriotic feeling during the Second World War. His alter ego is Steve Rogers, born on the U.S. Independence Day holiday, July 4, 1917.
And, over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of Captain America comic books have been sold in 75 countries.
His demise is a blow to one of the men who created him.
Ninety-three-year-old Joe Simon says: "We really need him now."
I guess when you're 93, you start grasping at straws. Even comic book straws.

Said Captain America, as he lay dying,
"I need my pills."
