The Divided States of Hysteria #1

Howard Chaykin launches his unflinching political series from Image with a cover that stops you cold: a figure draped in a niqab fashioned entirely from the American flag, stars and stripes folded across the face, leaving only a pair of piercing blue eyes staring back at you. It's a striking collision of national symbols that sets the tone for what promises to be a sharp, provocative series. Chaykin's cover art alone signals that The Divided States of Hysteria isn't interested in comfortable ground.
