I remembering reading on here a while back that the some of the early 1940s Captain America comics had been retconned as part of Cap's character history and had been instead subsumed into 616 as comics as part of that fictional universe.

Of course I read this months ago and now have no idea where to find that thread, so could anyone confirm this and ideally provide sources?

Yeah, I believe they were retconned in as being the media representation of what really happened. Like the events still took place more or less, but the 1940s comics were what you'd see back in America if you were a kid at the time, reading comics or watching reels about Captain America. What actually took place was more gritty and edgy, see: any Bucky flashback comic.

What the anon above said basically. The comics were released "in" the 616 universe as part of the propaganda for the War Effort, but most of the stories in them are complete bullshit, although some of the events happened (not all of them did and most of them are very embellished in the comic books). You get canon confirmation about this as early as the 70s where Bucky and Toro are caught reading some of the comics that were coming out about them in The Invaders.

spitfire calls them out as racist trash sometime in the 80s, iirc.

the whole meta thing with marvel the company existing in-universe goes back to the 60s, where, like, the fantastic four would call up stan lee and tell him what they'd been up to so he could put it in the comic.
