The Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) and Marvel Comics are teaming up to offer free, military-themed comic books at exchange stores worldwide. In the 11th and latest installment, Captain America seeks out the mad scientist who has transformed a group of kidnapped civilians into robotic soldiers who are driven to attack helpless villagers. The pictorial novel, entitled “The First Avenger,” should become available at stateside exchanges this month. Worldwide locations, including those in support of Afghanistan and Iraq combat operations, should get them by the month’s end.
