Marvel Comics, in yet another desperate plea for attention, has killed off Captain America--"at least for now."


On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse...

"We really need him now," said Simon, 93, who worked with artist Jack Kirby to devise Captain America as a foe for Adolf Hitler.

Yoko Ono has blocked the world premiere of a new John Lennon documentary, "Three Days in the Life."

Ray Thomas, the documentary's executive producer, culled raw footage that was shot inside Lennon's apartment down to a two-hour film covering a pivotal time in Lennon's career. The footage was shot by Ono's former husband, Tony Cox, over a three-day period in February 1970, two months before the breakup of the Beatles.
