Ka-pow! Bam! Free Marvel Comics Flying onto Exchange Shelves

DALLAS – Captain America is coming to BXs and PXs to deliver on a
promise made to a World War II Soldier in a new Marvel comic book that
takes readers from occupied France to the front lines of Operation
Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

Other superheroes joining “Cap” in The Promise by Paul Tobin include
sidekick Bucky, the Human Torch, Sub Mariner and Miss America.

“The Promise is now available at BXs and PXs around the world,
including facilities throughout Operations Iraqi and Enduring
Freedom,” said the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s Chief of Staff
Col. Virgil Williams.

Available for the asking, The Promise is the eighth free Marvel Comic
offered exclusively through AAFES locations since the partnership
between the Department of Defense’s oldest and largest exchange
service began in April, 2005.

“Frankly, the project started as a way to provide a taste of home and
a bit of escapism to troops serving overseas,” said Williams. “We were
a little surprised at how quickly the popularity of the comic books
went beyond the front lines as collectors and troops’ family members
expressed great interest.”
