Writer(s): Jim Krueger, Alex Ross Penciller(s): Doug Klauba, Alex Ross, Stephen Sadowski Colorist(s): Captain Moreno Letterer(s): Simon Bowland Cover Artist(s): Alex Ross Alex Ross & Jim Krueger's take on various public domain Golden Age characters, including the (Original Dare)Devil, the Black Terror, the Fighting Yank, and the Green Lama. Project Superpowers is a comic book limited series published by Dynamite Entertainment beginning January 2008. It is co-plotted by Jim Krueger and Alex Ross, with scripts by Jim Krueger, covers by Alex Ross, and finally interior art by Doug Klauba and Stephen Sadowski. Ross is also art director, which includes sketched pages, colour guides, and redesigns of most of the characters. The series resurrects a number of Golden Age superheroes originally published by companies including Fox Comics, Crestwood Publications and Nedor Comics, many of whom are in the public domain, including the protagonist, Fighting Yank. The first issue of the series (#0) depicts an aging Bruce Carter III, formerly the Fighting Yank, confronted by a spirit that comes in the form of a fluttering American flag and claims to be "the blood of [...] patriots" who died for America, including the Golden-Age superheroes who were Carter's friends and colleagues. This "American Spirit" visits Carter in 2008, sixty years after World War II, to force him to make recompense for his own actions during and after the war, which are revealed in flash-back. Carter, working for the OSS, was ordered to retrieve Pandora's Box, which had by unexplained means found its way into Hitler's hands. The box had, since Ancient times, reabsorbed all of the evils that were released from it in the myth, but Hitler opened it and released them again, thus starting World War II. The box also contained hope, however, and that hope (according to Carter's superiors) created the Golden Age of superheroes. Thus Carter was ordered not just to retrieve the box, which is in this series depicted as an urn, but to use it to trap all his fellow superheroes inside it along with all the evil spirits that Hitler released from it. Carter's spirit guide, the ghost of his own great-grandfather, Bruce Carter I, corroborates the US Military's theory and urges Carter to follow his orders. Carter traps The Flame in the urn at the end of WWII, while they're fighting the Japanese on the same day that America bombed Nagasaki. After the war, Carter, who "was now CIA sanctioned," continues trapping heroes in the urn, both his compatriots from the war and new heroes who appear. Thus, in the contemporary world of the story, there are implicitly no superheroes left in the world. The American Spirit tells Carter, however, that instead of stopping evil, which has continued in the world, he merely trapped those who could fight it. An argument ensues between the ghost of Bruce Carter I and the American Spirit in which they both try to convince Carter III of what to do now (either nothing, because he did the right thing in the 40s and 50s, or try to free the superheroes who are in the urn, because he condemned them to purgatory). Carter III eventually believes the American Spirit, who tells him to consult his one World War II colleague, the Green Lama, who returned to Tibet after the war to pursue his Buddhist meditations. The series will, then, eventually free the trapped superheroes and, most likely, set the stage for a superhero universe to be published by Dynamite Entertainment.
