I own two Captain America comics written and drawn by Jack Kirby.
I opened the Bicentennial Battles to a page with the following panel on it...
When I opened Captain America #193, it noticed this panel...
I then (very disrespectfully) wondered why it would occur to an artist, sitting alone at his drawing table, to write about gas suddenly appearing.
I then had a great desire to pull out other Kirby comics to see if I could find more panels filled with gas.
But, following that, I had an even greater desire not to.

I blame the spy movies of the time.
Also, that's hilarious.
I heard that the gas that killed Bucky was silent but deadly.
What? Bucky was killed by a bomb? In a plane?
Nnnnnnope. This way is funnier.
Spy movies, eh? Wasn't that usually knock-out gas or such?
In the first book, Captain America was trapped in a cave. It was supposed to be natural gas, which actually doesn't HAVE a smell. In real life, the smell is later added to alert people of a leak, I think.
YOU'RE a gas!
