Description

In a world where the Confederacy won, the government uses a propaganda super hero to shape its peoples' opinions. But who will shape his?

"...plots are intricate and creative.... This is not a comic book for children." - Southern Magazine

"...excellent alternate-Earth science fiction." - Comics Buyer's Guide

"Written with intelligence and no fear of controversy. Buy it!" - Graffiti

"From the retooled Stars and Bars of Captain Confederacy's costume to the mapping of urban and rural southern places, the series takes up the symbols of the South and imaginatively reconstructs them, shaking loose the stock figures, geographies, and temporalities of southerness. If Octavia Butler and Kara Walker alter the meaning of the southern lady, Shetterly reconfigures the southern gentleman, unfixing his location in an idealized Civil War past, instead deploying him for a different understanding of our present." - Reconstructing Race, Gender, and Nostalgia in the Imagined South , by Tara McPherson (Duke University)
