OLD SCHOOL! Reb Brown In The Hizz!


Classic Cap!, originally uploaded by PinthGarnell.

I ask you to envision a 7 year old Adam Witt waiting all Saturday for the Saturday night movie, "Captain America: Death Too Soon" There was a picture of Reb in the newspaper TV supplement, and all throughout that Saturday I left it open to the page with Captain America on it, waiting, waiting until later that night, sitting through all my Granparents tv shows, Sha-Na-Na, Hee-Haw, The Mandrell Sisters, staring at Reb Brown in his glorious Captain America uniform, waiting to see what his exploits would be, and when it came on I mentally went somewhere else for two hours. You could get Hulk every week, Wonder Woman, and Shazam as well, but the Spider-Man and Captain America tv movies, those were rarities, once-a-year events. Nothing was more hypnotic than watching those. Good times.
