Description
“The Civil Four” is a loving parody of American mythology xeroxed through the prism of period-piece periodicals (with fake ads) and the bombastic, ham-fisted storytelling of Silver Age Comic Books. Don’t be shocked if America’s dark foundations are opposed by an electrically reanimated reformed warlord Abraham Lincoln, a freedom fighting spell casting femme fatale Harriet Tubman, an exosuit-enchanced inebriate U.S. Grant, or tall tale-telling son of the soil Johnny Appleseed.
Maxeem’s meticulously reproduced illustrations are inked with traditional brush and pen, enhanced by Casey Van Heel’s colors, while his elegant hand lettering provides the medium for brilliantly funny scripts by Casey. It’s all dysfunctional good guys vs. demonic bad guys in this steampunk Western of supernatural hijinks, science fiction surprises, gritty paper dolls and more than a few farcical puns!

Synopsis:
Hounded on all sides by evil forces, our new superhero team Lincoln, Tubman, Grant and Appleseed have fled the White House and D.C. to establish a new base in the Black House in Harlem. Accompanying them are General Lee, the famous ghost of Benjamin Franklin, and their steam-powered automaton Lincoln. But when they arrive, they unpeel layers of dangerous secrets that threaten to undo much more than the tenuous New Union.
