About the series
In the early 2000s, DC published American Century, a short-lived but punchy two-issue series by writers David Tischman and Howard Chaykin, with Chaykin and Marc Laming on art. The story follows a morally ambiguous protagonist navigating the seedy underbelly of mid-20th-century America, blending noir grit with a cynical take on the nation's postwar identity. Though brief, it's a sharp, stylized snapshot of Chaykin's signature hard-boiled storytelling and design.
