The Black Coat: Or Give Me Death

A single-issue comic from Ape Entertainment, The Black Coat: Or Give Me Death (2007) reimagines the American Revolution through a supernatural lens, introducing a masked vigilante in colonial New York. This debut issue establishes the series' core premise—a mysterious figure in a black coat fighting tyranny with shadowy methods—and sets the stage for a historical adventure that blends patriotic myth with dark, pulpy action. Its concise, standalone story matters as the launch point for a creator-owned series that would explore the hidden, occult side of the nation's founding.
