As part of my seventies diet, I'm going to enjoy some books
from the era as well, starting with 1979's Marvel Comics' novel,
Captain America: Holocaust for Hire. It's been decades since I read it
and it's... enjoyable. Dated a little- disaster causing badguys are
happy to accept one hundred thousand dollars for destroying a city. I
can't imagine Batroc even gets out of bed for less than half a million
these days.
If I recall correctly, "Holocaust" in the
title is meant to be synonymous with "conflagration" rather than, oh...
The Final Solution. And since head badguy is the Red Skull, there's
just a little twinge that something is askew that it's not addressed.
Maybe I'm remembering wrong. We'll see soon enough.
