Fillbach Brothers (Author, Artist)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1999 | Series: Broken Heroes (Book 1)

CAPTAIN FREEBIRD is a tightly woven graphic novel exploring the dark side of the American Dream. Purused by the evil Twilite Man, Cap drives the brutally scarred southwestern landscape with a pair of revolvers and a knack for getting into trouble. Despite his fondness for beer, remembering old friends, and saving damsels in distress, Fate has something far more cosmic in store for the star-spangled hero.

This review is from: Captain Freebird (Broken Heroes) (Paperback)

I think of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas whenever I read this richly illustrated novel. Captain Freebird is who Hunter S. Thompson would be if he were a superhero. He isn't the nicest guy, and he is very cynical, but deep in his heart he still believes in the dream that is America. Be prepared for a uncompromising look at the dark side of that dream, but be comforted in knowing that Captain Freebird is out there trying to make it a little bit better.
