America

From 1989, Fantagraphics published this single-issue comic by Ralph Steadman, the renowned illustrator best known for his work with Hunter S. Thompson. In America, Steadman turns his signature splattered, chaotic ink style toward a satirical, unflinching look at the United States, capturing its political absurdities and cultural excesses with his trademark fury and dark humor. It stands as a potent, standalone graphic essay from a master of visual commentary.
