COMIC CONNECTIONS: The Winter Soldier - Sam and Bucky

Episode 26 - Falcon and the Winter Soldier

This week we put the spotlight back on Captain America, with a focus on two of his most important supporting characters – Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson.  Both of them have a long history with Cap, and today we are sampling a few key old Falcon comics from the 1970s as well as taking a look at the brilliant re-introduction of Bucky as the Winter Soldier in 2004.
