My hope is that adult comics fans will share Captain America: The Ghost Army with the kids in their lives, and that they'll have a blast reading it together." So while The Ghost Army is designed to be a super fun introduction to Captain America for a kid who has never picked up a Marvel comic book before, it's also got a lot of Easter eggs for adults who've been reading Marvel comics since they were kids themselves. "Another thrill for me was that Marvel encouraged me to put in references to lots of other Marvel comics continuity. Gratz also discussed how The Ghost Army will include several references and Easter eggs for longtime Marvel readers. "I see the book as a modern expansion on that relationship first created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon and built upon by Stan Lee, so I know I'm following in some huge footsteps here!" he said. One of the things I most loved about that run was the flashbacks he gave us of Cap and Bucky fighting alongside each other in World War II, and it's that youthful spirit of camaraderie and heroism I'm trying to recapture in Captain America: The Ghost Army." "Ed Brubaker's work on Captain America is one of my all-time favorite books, particularly his now-iconic Winter Soldier storyline. "As a life-long comics reader, I'm incredibly excited to be writing for Marvel, and for Captain America specifically," Gratz told CBR.
