    Question Remember this 'Captain America' comic?

    For years I've been looking for this comic. I have every single issue I grew up with except this one book that had a Cap story in it. All I remember is that he was fighting a bunch of little alien/furry creatures while helping a kid in his house. I think he also knocked one down a laundry chute.

    Am I crazy? Someone please help me...

    I don't know the answer, but I can ask the questions that other people will want to know who might know the answer.

    When did you read it?
    Where did you read it? (Larger geographical sense, comics in Mexico are different from comics in the US.)
    Do you recall if it was a Captain America comic or simply a comic that had Captain America in it?
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    Thanks for the help. I believe it was a Cap comic, read it sometime in the early 90's so it's either 80's or 90's. From the U.S.

    I've tried to find a list of every enemy Cap has fought but it only shows real villains, not this goofy alien species he fought in a child's neighborhood home.

    Shooshoo, I saw this comic earlier when I was searching but overlooked it. I believe this is the one!

    EDIT:Shoo, if you have a paypal I'll throw you 5 bucks. It's Return of the Asthma Monster, thankfully there are scans of the interior art all over the web. Gonna pick up both copies on ebay, I love you friend!

    They don't appear to have issue numbers on them. What goes on there?

    They were both giveaways, what they were given away with I have no idea. From what I gathered online, these were supplied to doctors as waiting room reading material.

    My pop used to work for MediBus back in the early 90's and he would always bring home comics and books that kids would leave on the bus. That's probably where I got it.

    Thanks for explaining the context of those books.
