The long-awaited reissue of the classic Vertigo miniseries Uncle Sam by Steve Darnall and Alex Ross is a sharp political fever dream praised by Kirkus as a βtruly subversive graphic novelβ and βa damning account of American political history that also affirms basic democratic idealsβ
Uncle Sam: Special Election Edition is a vibrant, hallucinatory tour of modern Americaβthe story of a star-spangled, ragged vagrant named Sam who is guided by the voices in his head and his own fractured memories.
Absorbed by history-traveling visions of Americaβs dark past, Uncle Sam struggles to remember his true identity and piece together the scattered clues of his own experiences in this deep and thoughtful look at Americaβs checkered past.
Meticulously researched by Steve Darnall and fully painted by Alex Ross, Uncle Sam returns in print just when it is needed mostβin time for the 2024 presidential electionβas a reminder of American ideals, the promise of our nation, and the democracy that is at stake.
Originally published by DC, and out of print for over a decade, this expanded and updated Special Election Edition is brought to readers by Abrams in collaboration with DC.
