The American

A lone, unnamed wanderer known only as The American roams a post-apocalyptic wasteland in this ongoing series from Dark Horse. Created by writer Mark Verheiden and artist Dave Dorman, the series launched in 2005 with a single issue that established a stark, brutal world of survival and moral ambiguity. Dorman's painted covers and interiors define the book's gritty, cinematic feel. While brief in its initial run, The American remains a distinctive entry in Dark Horse's catalog of creator-owned, character-driven genre comics.
