Celebrate the Century [Super Heroes Stamp Album] #1

In "The 'Action' President, Theodore Roosevelt," writer Doug Moench and artist Joe Orlando explore the bold legacy of America's 26th president through a strikingly illustrated narrative that blends historical energy with the vivid realism of early 20th-century art. The story pays tribute to the group known as "The Eight"—a collective of painters dubbed "Apostles of Ugliness" by critics—including Everett Shinn, John Sloan, Robert Henri, George Luks, Arthur B. Davies, William J. Glackens, Ernest Lawson, and Maurice Prendergast—whose work challenged artistic conventions of their time. The issue’s dynamic visuals, rendered with precision by Joe Orlando and Tom Palmer and colored by Rick Taylor, are matched by Gaspar Saladino’s sharp lettering, all set within a cover by Paul Ryan and Doug Hazlewood that captures the era’s spirit.
