The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century

Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons reunited for this single-issue Dark Horse comic from 2009, revisiting the dystopian saga of Martha Washington. A coda to Miller’s earlier Give Me Liberty series, it follows the aging heroine’s final mission in a twenty-first century defined by surveillance, corporate power, and fractured society. The story matters as a poignant, visually striking capstone to one of comics’ most ambitious political epics, showcasing Gibbons’ clean linework against Miller’s unflinching narrative.
