First published 2012
The Confederate States face a changed world that demands fresh leadership. A successor steps forward to claim the mantle of Captain Confederacy, but this hero operates in vastly different circumstances than predecessors. The transformation extends beyond national borders as other nations recognize their own need for costumed champions. Two distinct adventures unfold in this collection. "Yankee UFO" presents its story through stark black and white illustrations, while "Hero Worship" appears in full color. Each tale explores how societies create the heroes they believe they require. The new Captain Confederacy must navigate not only domestic expectations but also an international landscape where heroism takes multiple forms. The stories examine what happens when the symbols of the past meet the realities of the present, and how both individuals and nations reinvent themselves through their chosen champions.
