Martha Washington Goes to War

In this five-issue 1994–1995 Dark Horse miniseries, writer Frank Miller, along with co-writers Randy Stradley and David Scroggy, and artist Dave Gibbons, sends the indomitable Martha Washington into a sprawling, satirical war saga. The story expands her universe with a dense cast of guest stars, including Hellboy, Concrete, Monkeyman, and Ann O'Brien, as she confronts the villainous Axwell Tiberius. A key chapter in Miller’s dystopian future, this series matters for its audacious crossover of creator-owned characters and its high-stakes, politically charged action.
