The
comic shows Captain America standing above the skyline of New York City in
front of a colourful sky.
In
the background, at the bottom, you can see the skyline of New York without
the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
From
the place where they stood, in the middle at the bottom, smoke is rising,
which is spreading into the sky in the centre of the picture.
Captain
America kneels right in the rubble.
The
figure of Captain America is an important one.
In World War II, he fought against the Nazis and other rebells but died
after that war.
Now
he failed a second time after the attacks of 9/11.
He wears his traditional blue-white-red clothes with the stars and
stripes, which stand for America and ist citizens. In his left hand, he
holds the unbreakable shield and his right hand covers his face. This
gesture shows his desperate feelings and that he is ashamed of what
happened and that he was not able to prevent it.
The
colours of the sky in the background – yellow, red, orange – show the
sky of a daening morning.
This
is probably the morning after the attacks and the artist used the colours
to symbolize a new beginning.
