Eighty-one years ago, comic book writer Joe Simon created Captain America, an agile and resilient superhero who represented the American spirit throughout World War II. Over a decade ago, Simon Harvey created Captain Australia with the hope of “defying the darkness” and “doing good deeds based on the idea that kindness propagates”.  

I happened upon Harvey and his superhero alter ego in 2012 when I was writing for peanuts at a grassroots magazine.
