Eagle: The Making of an Asian-American President

In the early 2000s, Viz Media published Eagle: The Making of an Asian-American President, a 22-issue political drama that imagines the first Asian-American candidate’s grueling campaign for the White House. Written and illustrated by Kaiji Kawaguchi, the series blends meticulous detail with high-stakes intrigue, exploring race, media, and power in American politics through a Japanese lens. Its thoughtful, grounded take on a then-unthinkable scenario makes it a prescient and quietly influential work.
