Captain America: The First Avenger is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Captain America Comics #1, then compare it with Tales of Suspense #63–71 and Captain America #255. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
