Marvel Releases "Captain America: A Little Help" To Combat Suicide
Marvel is proud to announce the release of Captain America: A Little
Help, an all-new story free to all fans via the Marvel Comics App
<http://www.marvel.com/marvelcomicsapp> (for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod
touch) and Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited
<http://marvel.com/comic_books/issue/38864/captain_america_a_little_help
_2011_1> in an effort to help raise awareness of suicide prevention.
Written by Dr. Tim Ursiny, PH.D., CBC, RCC and illustrated by Nick
Dragotta, this powerful story shows what happens when one man on the
verge of suicide is drawn into a chance encounter with Captain
America-and he may be the Avenger's only hope! This story is also
available in I Am An Avenger #5, in comic stores nationwide today-both
digital and print versions include contact information for the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
"Super heroes fight a lot of battles, but there are few more important
than combating suicide," said Tom Brevoort, Senior Vice-President of
Publishing. "That's why we're making Captain America: A Little Help
available for free via our digital comics outlets. If even one person
calls this number instead of doing something very tragic, we know that
means we succeeded."
