 Uncle Sam - Steve Darnall, Alex Ross
 Uncle Sam - Steve Darnall, Alex Ross ... the streets of an anonymous American city, struggling to remember his true identity and the purpose in his life. Is he Uncle Sam - or one of US? This is an intelligent political analysis of an american icon.Newest Review: ... fend for himself, and he does just that, grubbing for scraps of food in a dumpster.
