The American: Lost in America

A four-issue Dark Horse series from 1992, The American: Lost in America follows the patriotic superhero as he confronts a changing nation. Written by Mark Verheiden with art by Chris Marrinan, the story explores the character's disillusionment and search for meaning beyond the flag. This series matters for its thoughtful, deconstructive take on the all-American hero archetype during the early '90s.
