And when the American Dream isn't accessible as it is meant to be, then it's something else. So the American Dream has to apply to everyone – something that is at the core of how it has been expressed, but for centuries kept out of the hands of many by the system, expectations, prejudice, and the status quo. So what does the American Dream mean to Captain America if not tied up in Americana? The United States Of Captain America #1. But things changed rapidly, and soon Captain America found himself on the right side of history. Joe and Jack got hate mail, got a hate mob, for Captain America Comics #1. In issue 1, he was fighting Adolf Hitler, as a time before the USA entered the Second World War, and was still pursuing an isolationist approach, backed by the country's majority. And here's the thing – Captain America was born, created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1939 as a radical opponent to isolationism. And superhero comic books, at least traditionally, are part of that Americana.

Break out the vinegar, salt, and baking soda. So two dreams for the price of one, and we throw in a lie as well. In this comic, Captain America takes apart the different proponents of the American Dream and how it has been used and abused while polishing that shield. But that's the thing about ideals they are good for helping you get on the right path – eventually. As a counter, of course, that is seen as an ideal that the country has regularly fallen short of, whether that's slavery, internment, Jim Crow laws, through to the injustices that saw Black Lives Matter marches on the street last year, or the observation that only millionaires get to be President. The American Dream is classically an ideal that allows the opportunity for prosperity and success and upward social mobility for family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers, regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. And it refers to a famous Frank Miller Daredevil comic from the eighties where Steve Rogers rejects the government of the day in favour of the "American Dream," thus: Daredevil #233.

The combination of the two is clearly deliberate. The comic in question sees Steve Rogers ruminating on Captain America and his place in the country while preparing an old fashion solution to clean and polish his shield. It is principally written by Christopher Cantwell, who has been wowing fans over on the Iron Man comic book of late. The United States Of Captain America comic is a reexamination of the character of Captain America, in the light of the culmination of Ta-Nahesi Coates' run on the series, which concluded last month. If the newspaper wants to contradict that statement, we may be in a whole new realm of metaphysics.

In opposition to the newspaper headline, Captain America doesn't say that the American Dream isn't real, but that dreams aren't real.
