James Sturm's America: God, Gold, and Golems

James Sturm's America: God, Gold, and Golems is a 2007 graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly, a single, self-contained work by its creator James Sturm. It collects three thematically linked short stories that explore pivotal, often unsettling moments in American history, using the lenses of religious fervor, greed, and folklore. Sturm's precise, evocative art and thoughtful writing offer a quietly powerful meditation on the nation's foundational myths and their human cost.
