About the series
Set in a near-future America where the government has seized custody of all children, Ward of the State is a taut, three-issue miniseries from Image Comics that launched in 2007. Written by Christopher Long, this series explores a dystopian premise through a grounded, human lens, focusing on the struggle of a single family caught in the system. Its concise, self-contained story makes it a sharp, unsettling entry in the tradition of politically charged speculative fiction.
