The Last American
Marvel-Epic (series)/Com.x (trade).
The Last American (4-issue mini; w Alan Grant, John Wagner; a Mick
McMahon). [From Com.x: Set in the days following
WW3, the story follows United States Army Captain Ulysses S. Pilgrim who
was kept in cryogenic suspension while the bombs exploded overhead. He awakes
20 years later to find a changed world; nuclear war has ravaged all that
he knew. Now, with the war over and the world a sterilized wasteland, Pilgrim
tries to rebuild America with the help of two robots who can only talk in
advertising clichés. He's now left with the task of restoring order
and keeping the peace - and doing everything in his power to start over
again. But first: the search for his fellow survivors… Collecting all
four issues of the 1990 mini-series, finally the true glory of McMahon's
groundbreaking contribution and Wagner & Grant's generous amount of
caustic satire can be appreciated in one volume, complete with a brand-new
cover by McMahon.]
