Truth, Justin, and the America Way

by George A. Tramountanas, Contributing Writer From Comic Book Resources

I'm a child of the '80s. Okay, I was born in the '70s, but I identify more with parachute pants and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" than I do with leisure suits and the Bee Gees (I'm happy to say). I get wistful as I think about all the greatness the '80s offered me as I grew up: Nintendo, "The A-Team," my family's beta tape recorder, "Back to the Future," and my first exposure to cable television (I probably watched "Porky's" about twenty times that summer). Ah, bliss…

For those like me - or for those who wonder how anyone could love a decade that encouraged people to wear neon in public - Image Comics has a book coming this March that you need to read: "Truth, Justin, and the American Way." This five-issue miniseries is written by Scott Kurtz ("PvP") and Aaron Williams ("Nodwick," "PS238"), and is illustrated by a newcomer to American comics, Italian cartoonist Giuseppe Ferrario.
