The fantastic return of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby’s legendary two-fisted super-hero, originally created back in 1954. Fighting American and Speedboy are struggling to fit into the strange new world of the 21st Century, unaware that one of their old enemies, the notorious Doubleheader, is now the secret head of the FBI and is plotting to destroy them once and for all. Then there’s the news of a long lost Grandson and Great Grandson (or should that be Nephew and Great Nephew?), a bust-up between Fighting American and Speedboy, and a ruthless TV news anchor determined to shatter FA’s all-American hero image on live TV. It’s clear to see that life’s never easy when you’re America’s only superhero! This all-new adventure, written by Gordon Rennie (Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, and Missionary Man) and drawn by Andie Tong (Spectacular Spider-Man, The Batman Strikes, and Tekken), sees the ultimate icon of truth, justice and the American Way bringing some much-needed two-fisted justice to a jaded cynical world of multimedia, fake news and global terrorism. Collects Fighting American #2.1-4. “A top of the pile book, better than many of the DC and Marvels out there right now.” – Nerdly “Fighting American has the whiz of classic comics with a twist you won’t want to miss.” – Adventures In Poor Taste

Genre: Admirals
ISBN: 9781616739621

American naval actions of World War II comprise the most widespread, complex, and dramatic battles in the history of sea warfare. The fighting took place over vast distances in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as in the constricted spaces of the Mediterranean and Solomon seas. Each of the major actions had an admiral, the commander in charge, who led the battle. In combat, the abilities and determination of these commanders at sea were put to the most severe test. Americas Fighting Admirals describes the course of U.S. sea action in World War II. It examines the skills, strengths, weaknesses and personalities of the American admirals who fought the battles at sea. It examines the effect that stress, tension, and responsibility have on commanders making vital decisions in the red-hot crucible of battle. And it reveals the changing nature of the responsibilities of flag officers as the war progressed and became enormously complex.
