DC/WildStorm Show People The American Way

DC Comics/WildStorm Productions provides a very different look at an important era in American history with the first issue in its new, eight issue mini-series, The American Way #1 (DEC050315, $2.99).

From the mind of acclaimed writer John Ridley, the man behind The Authority: Human on the Inside and the story for the feature film Three Kings, comes a unique vision of one of U.S. history's most polarizing times. He is joined by red-hot artist Georges Jeanty (Majestic) for a story that will change the way readers think about super-heroes and their government. The American Way is sure to be a hit with fans of Elseworlds-style tales or hyper-realistic storylines.

The 1960s was a decade of incredible change for America. It was a time of innocence and optimism. It was a time of heroes. In the early '40s, the government hatches 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 on the public's television screens. But that dream was far from reality by the '60s, as new C.D.C. Marketing Director Wesley Catham is about to discover!

The book is scheduled to ship on February 22.
