TOP 100 Comics: THE AMERICAN



Originally started in 1987, THE AMERICAN was a new take on
old school straight-forward super-heroics and patriotism. This
was one of Dark Horse Comics' earliest efforts, and it was writer
Mark Verheiden's first comics effort.


The incredible art of Chris Warner, Grant Miehm, and Doug
Braithwaite punctuated the realism of the story lines and the
(then) revolutionary hard-hitting themes.

Though short lived, The American reworked a lot of staid
conventions, and helped launch the careers of several key
greats in the industry.
