I know that Sin City seems to be the stories that Frank Miller has become synonymous with in recent years and many consider them instant classics, but for my money the Martha Washington books are his masterpieces. I’m very happy to see that Martha and her adventures are finally getting the proper treatment. This is the trade collection you want to get in 2010 so I suggest you pre-order with your local comic shop now.

The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century TPB
Writer: Frank Miller
Artist: Dave Gibbons
Colorist: Angus McKie
Just in time for the Fourth of July! A masterpiece nearly twenty years in the making, this archival volume contains the complete life story of Martha Washington, the twenty-first century freedom fighter created by comic-book megastars Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) and Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), now in a more affordable softcover edition.
Our story begins in the squalid corridors of a maximum-security housing project, where a young girl will rise from the war-torn streets of Chicago to battle injustice in a world insane with corruption. Her fight will take her far, from the frontlines of the second American Civil War, to the cold, unforgiving reaches of space. She will be called a hero, a traitor, and nearly everything in between, but all along the way, her courage, her integrity, and her unwavering commitment to that most valuable of rights-liberty-will inspire a movement that will never surrender.
* The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-first Century contains six hundred stunning pages of work from two of the top creators in comics!
* Collecting remastered versions of every Martha Washington story and featuring the same extensive behind-the-scenes section by Dave Gibbons and introduction by Frank Miller as the hardcover edition.
