About the series
Marvel's Truth: Red, White & Black (2003) is a searing, seven-issue limited series that reexamines the origins of the Super-Soldier program through a devastatingly human lens. Written by Robert Morales with stark, expressive art by Kyle Baker, it follows the story of Isaiah Bradley, one of many Black soldiers subjected to brutal, secret experiments in a grim precursor to Captain America's creation. This series matters for its unflinching confrontation with the racism and sacrifice erased from Marvel's own foundational myth, offering a powerful historical corrective within the superhero genre.
