===Continuity Notes===
−  
  +
* This 40th Anniversary issue retells [[Steven Rogers (Earth-616)|Captain America]]'s origin story, trying to reconcile the several different accounts from {{c|Captain America Comics #1}}, {{c|Tales of Suspense #63}}, {{c|Captain America #109}}, {{c|Captain America #176}}, {{c|Giant-Size Invaders #1}} and {{c|Captain America #215}}.
−
* Joe Rubinstein inks the final page of this story. He is credited specifically in the letters page.
  
  +
** Pag. 1 is an homage to {{c|Captain America Comics #1}}'s cover, with Captain America punching [[Adolf Hitler (Earth-616)|Adolf Hitler]].
−  
  +
** Steve Rogers is first given a full origin, with details from his life before being subjected to the [[Super-Soldier Serum]].
−
* Page one is an homage/recreation of the cover of [[Captain America Comics Vol 1 1|Captain America Comics #1]]
  
  +
** Steve Rogers' recruitment into [[Project Rebirth (Earth-616)|Operation Rebirth]] by [[Chester Phillips (Earth-616)|General Phillips]] was originally shown in {{c|Captain America #109}}.
−  
  +
** Steve's meeting with Operation Rebirth's [[Cynthia Glass (Earth-616)|Agent R]] and [[Abraham Erskine (Earth-616)|Dr. Abraham Erskine]], originally shown in {{c|Captain America #109}}, has been expanded and re-interpreted in this issue, originating some minor inconsistences between the two accounts, like Steve meeting Erskine (or ''Professor Reinstein'', as he was called in {{c|Captain America #109}}) at the [[United States Army (Earth-616)|U.S. Army]] recruiting center ({{c|Captain America #109}}) or inside the [[Project Rebirth Curios Shop Facility|Operation Rebirth facility]] (this issue's account).
−
* The title of this comics is "Captain America Comics". This is a reference to that [[captain America Comics Vol 1|78 issue Golden and Atomic age series]]. Normally this title is just referred to as "Captain America".
  
  +
** General Phillips and [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Earth-616)|President Roosevelt]]'s meeting at [[White House]] was originally shown in {{c|Tales of Suspense #63}} and {{c|Giant-Size Invaders #1}}.
−  
  +
** In this issue's account, when Phillips, [[Homer Simms (Earth-616)|Under-Secretary Simms]] and [[Murray Anderson (Earth-616)|Dr. Anderson]] arrived at Operation Rebirth's facility, [[Nazi Germany (Earth-616)|Nazi]] spy [[Heinz Kruger (Earth-616)|Heinz Kruger]] was already inside the complex, disguised as ''Special Agent Clemson''. In {{c|Tales of Suspense #63}}, Kruger was first shown when he shot Dr. Erskine, immediately killing him, without specifying when he had arrived at the facility. {{c|Captain America #109}} provided several other particulars, showing exactly how he killed Erskine and what exactly he said before being killed by Captain America. How Kruger obtained his disguise as ''Agent Clemson'' has been later explained in {{c|Marvels Project #4}}.
−
* An important addition to Captain America's history: President Franklin Roosevelt presents Cap with his circular shield. FDR notes that it has incredible properties and was created in a metalurgical accident.
  
  +
** This issue's account tries to reconcile the several ways by which Steve Rogers had received the [[Super-Soldier Serum]]. In {{c|Captain America Comics #1}} he was subjected to an injection, while in {{c|Tales of Suspense #63}} (as well as {{c|Giant-Size Invaders #1}} and {{c|Captain America #215}} which are recaps of TOS #63), Steve assumed an oral form of the formula; in {{c|Captain America #109}} have been introduced the [[Vita Rays]], invisible rays which enanched Steve's strength, while in {{c|Captain America #176}} he both received the serum injection as well as being bombarded by the Vita Rays. In this issue's definitive account, Steve has first being injected the serum, then assumed the oral compound, finally being bombarded by the Vita Rays.
−  
  +
** Heinz Kruger originally shot Dr. Erskine breaking the observatory cabin's glass in {{c|Captain America Comics #1}}, later discredited in favor for a more [[Wikipedia:Comics Code Authority|Comics Code]]-acceptable version shown in {{c|Tales of Suspense #63}}, where he entered the experiment room using a door, later killing Erskine. In {{c|Captain America #109}}, {{c|Captain America #176}} and {{c|Captain America #215}}, Kruger is shown as a member of the small group who was watching the experiment's execution, breaking the room's glass again. This account has been confirmed by this issue's definitive retelling.

* This issue contain a letters page: '''Letters to the Living Legend'''. Letters are published from ''Eric L. Watts, Tom A. Field'', and ''Rob Imes''.
