In a world where the Confederacy seceded from the United States, an actor plays a costumed hero in a secret government propaganda program. * "Excellent alternate-Earth science fiction." —Comics Buyer's Guide * "Written with intelligence and no fear of controversy. Buy it!" —Graffiti * "Plots are intricate and creative." —Southern Magazine * "The series takes up the symbols of the South and imaginatively reconstructs them, shaking loose the stock figures, geographies, and temporalities of southernness. 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." —Tara McPherson, Reconstructing Dixie: Race, Gender, and Nostalgia in the Imagined South (Duke University)
