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.” -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
