To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Marvel character, a 13 foot tall bronze statue of Captain America is being created. Steve Rogers / Captain America was created in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.
According to USA Today, the statue will be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con in July, before being driven across the US to be permanently installed in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. You'll be able to keep track of the 1 ton staute's cross country roadtrip via Marvel's social media channels, and there's an official dedication ceremony planned in the park for August 10th.

A sketch released today shows the Captain with his famous shield outstretched, and a quote from Captain America: The First Avenger, "I'm just a kid from Brooklyn". It's hoped the statue will be a fitting tribute to the character, but also to the fans and illustrators who have kept his popularity alive.
