American Monster Volume 1

The ugliest side of humanity may be humanity's only hope.Collecting the first five issues of Brian Azzarello's (100 Bullets, DarkKnight III) latest masterpiece, with horrifically, beautiful artwork from JuanDoe (Fantastic Four, Joker's Asylum). In a small Midwestern town, a large man with a horribly scarred face getsoff a bus, and takes a room. He spooks the locals-nobody knows him-or do they?It's impossible to say be-cause he seemingly has no face. The man's intentionsremain unknown, until he takes on a corrupt sheriff and the rural crew of racistarms dealers. The town's impression of the man changes, and he's seen as ahero...until his real intentions bubble to the surface. The man isn't there toend the gang, but to take it over. And he's just getting started.
