Clad in star-spangled rags, a mystery man named Sam wanders the streets of an anonymous American city, struggling to remember his true identity and the purpose in his life. But he's plagued by inner voices and a parade of icons come to life that carry him on a time-travelling journey into the dark heart of America...and hint at his own violent past. Is he Uncle Sam -- or one of U.S.? Nominated for an Eisner Award, this moving tale of a down-and-out icon is filled with the passionate and striking imagery readers have come to expect from Alex Ross, the award-winning artist of Kingdom Come and Marvels.
