Today, the Greatest Generation is all but gone. The fingerprints it left on superhero comic books still linger, but we’re always interrogating what its legacy means today. But one thing was clear enough as Germany reunified: the “unreconstructed German Nazi” trope, common in comics of the 1960s, was aging out of relevance. Giffen and DeMatteis (and Medley) wanted to be the ones to lay it to rest. It would be defeated by…age itself.

( If only being a Nazi today MADE you old, like M. Night Shyamalan’s beach. )

Warning for lots of Nazi and Hitler imagery.

In a meta sense, the real threat to a figure like General Glory isn’t Nazis; it’s disillusionment, the vision of America with bloodied hands that can never be made clean. The General will face both threats in these pages, and he’s much more able to address one than the other. And this was produced during the early Nineties, with reference to the early Forties, which were both relatively good times for American patriotism. [Glances at headlines, shakes head, sighs]

( The Vietnam and Trump eras have been hard enough on Captain America; I’d rather not imagine the General trying to cope with them. )

Challenge 291:
SAFE HARBOR

It’s been a long, dangerous voyage, through storms and rough waters, past obstacles and opponents (sea monsters? Enemy ships? Dimensional portals?). But finally, a familiar sight comes into view, and you know that the worst of the journey is past. You’ve reached a safe harbor.

It doesn’t have to be a literal harbor, of course. It could be the final exit off the highway after a multi-week road trip from hell, or the first sign of familiar houses as you take a well-worn path home after too long away, or the sight of an old friend coming to greet you in a crowd of hostile strangers. The important part is that you know the worst is over; you’re safe now, or close enough.

Write a story about a safe harbor (literal or metaphorical).

BONUS GOAL: When The Gulls Call

If your submission features seagulls, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, March 9 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 291 – safe harbor
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here

Which is, as I sort of expected, a little short on ring slinging, since I figures they'll be saving that for the full trailer, or even the actual premiere.

( Also, a lot swearier than I expected )
