THE AMERICAN WAY #1
Written by John Ridley
Art and cover by Georges Jeanty & Karl Story

Critically acclaimed novelist and screenwriter John Ridley (The
Authority: Human on the Inside, Three Kings) and artist Georges
Jeanty (Majestic) offer a unique vision of U.S. history in The
American Way, a thrilling 8-issue miniseries!

The 1960s were a decade of incredible change for America. It was
a time of innocence. It was a time of optimism. It was a time of
heroes.

In the early '40s, the United States government hatched a plan to
create the Civil Defense Corps: a group of "super-heroes" who
could fight alien invasions, evil super-powered beings, and
communism, all in front of an adoring public, courtesy of
television. But that dream was far from reality by the '60s, as
new C.D.C. Marketing Director Wesley Catham is about to discover.
How far will America go to protect its dream of a better
tomorrow?
