Uncle Sam

Published by DC in 2000, Uncle Sam is a politically charged, standalone graphic novel written by Steve Darnall and painted by Alex Ross. The story reimagines the American icon as a spectral figure haunted by the nation's history, weaving through moments of triumph and tragedy. Ross’s photorealistic art and Darnall’s unflinching script create a powerful, contemplative look at the American identity, making it a landmark work in the tradition of mature, creator-driven comics.
