Bully Says: Comics Oughta Be Fun!: Today in Comics History, July 4, 1976 and 1776: Every 616 Hero Liked July 4 a lot / But the Grinch from the 31st century, did not!

This oughta be the way Jonathan Majors plays him in the movie: curmudgeonly and petty about human parades.

from "A Bicentennial Adventure" in Spidey Super Stories #17 (Marvel, July 1976), script by Jim Salicrup, pencils by Win Mortimer, inks by Mike Esposito and Tony Mortellaro, letters by Ray Holloway

Captain America's broken shield is easily repaired with Scotch tape!

'At last! Time travel means I can save Uncle Ben!' 'Your uncle was Ben Franklin?'

Spidey and Cap gleefully peep in on a buncha slaveholders!

'Sheesh, Hancock, don't you have any other pen than a Sharpie?'

Ben Franklin PWNs John Adams and later sleeps with Doctor Strange's wife!* *It's canon!

'Do you think anyone will *pay any attention* to it in 250 years?'

Then on the way back Cap and Spidey went and killed Baby Hitler, because really, once you've done this, eh, what the heck.

Color us!

Happy Independence Day! Let's work to make America as great at Cap believes it to be here.
