In Captain America v1 #219, it is revealed that the Captain America serial also exists within the Marvel continuity. In this version, Captain America himself plays the role (in secret), taking the place of the stunt man who was shot by a Nazi spy. Like the real-life serial, Cap's shield is replaced with a gun, his identity is changed, and his sidekick Bucky is absent.
Timely, the owner of Captain America, was unhappy with the omission of Steve Rogers, the lack of an army setting and his use of a gun. Republic responded in writing that the sample pages provided by Timely did not indicate that Captain America was a soldier called Steve Rogers, nor that he did not carry a revolver.
Dick Purcell as District Attorney Grant Gardner/Captain America. Purcell was cast as the hero despite appearing a bit overweight and average. He died a few weeks after filming was completed. The strain of filming Captain America had been too much for his heart and he collapsed in the locker room at an LA country club.
enjoy!
