   Rosen, letterer. 20  p. in Captain America, no. 117 (Sept.
   1969) -- Summary: The Red Skull, using the power of the
   Cosmic Cube, has switched bodies with Captain America. He
   tries to break the Captain's spirit by sending him to the
   tropical "Isle of the Exiles." The Exiles (supervillains
   named Baldini, Chang, Cadavus, Gruning, Iron-Hand
   Hauptmann, and Krushki) attack thinking their enemy the Red
   Skull is before them. A mysterious bird, a falcon, saves
   Captain America from the Exiles. It is revealed that the
   falcon is controlled by a Black man. Captain America
   disguises the Red Skull's body using clay to make new
   facial features, and thanks the man, remarking that he
   sounds "more Harlem than Haitian." The man indeed grew up
   in Harlem, raising pigeons on a rooftop, but on a vacation
   in Rio de Janeiro he found a different bird, a falcon named
   Redwing. A newspaper job advertisement brought him to the
   Isle of the Exiles, but the Exiles don't actually hire
   people, they enslave them. The two men talk about strategy
   for defeating the Exiles, and Captain America convinces the
   man (still nameless) to put on a green mask and costume to
   "serve as a symbol to the natives." "The Falcon" is born.
   Back in New York, the Skull enjoys impersonating Captain
   America, though Modok, at A.I.M headquarters, is looking
   for a way to make the Cosmic Cube power down. -- Call no.:

"Implicating the Reader."

   Thierry Groensteen. p. 18-25 in 9e Art : les Cahiers du
   Musée de la Bande Dessinée, no. 1 (Jan. 1996). -- Begins:
   "La bande dessinée n'aime rien tant que de jouer avec ses
   propres codes, de se désigner (et dénoncer) comme bande
   dessinée, de mettre en scène ses 'coulisses' et de jouer
   avec la croyance que lui accordent ses lecteurs. Parmi les
   nombreuses procédures réflexives à sa disposition figure
   l'interpellation, ou la prise à partie directe du lecteur.
   En voici quelques modalités.." -- English summary (from p.
   138): "Implicating the Reader. The reader generally attends
   the drawn narrative in the role of exterior witness. The
   reader's world and the universe in which the characters
   evolve do not, in principle, mix. But sometimes a look or a
   comment addressed directly to the reader will implicate
   him. The equilibrium of the fiction is temporarily broken
   and the illusion of realism threatened. Through analysis of
   numerous examples, Iganacio Arranz Ibañez demonstrates that
   calls upon the reader have different modalities, but that
   their potential for disruption is still lesser than in
   films." -- Call no.: folio PN6700.N44no.1
