The Story
From the mind of comic book national treasure and living legend, David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS), in partnership with the incredible talents of his wife, Maria Lapham, and powerhouse colorist Bill Crabtree (INVINCIBLE) comes a critically-acclaimed modern masterpiece, now widely available in breathtaking color for the very first time in this stunning new collection.
It’s 1985 and Jennifer End and Angelo Rodriguez are deeply in love. But Jennifer can never reveal their relationship to their family. The Ends are considered by some to be traditional, but by most, they are known as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted. Her brother, Jack, is the worst of the bunch and a full blown, hardcore skinhead. During the summer, when Jennifer travels to Oceanside, a retirement home for veterans, to be with Angelo under the guise of visiting her grandparents, Jack discovers their relationship. Jack is crushed by the betrayal. He decides it’s time to take a stand. Jack organizes a rally in the peaceful town of Oceanside. Soon the town is overrun by neo-Nazi youths. The police struggle to maintain control, leaving the only hope with the aging World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans who reside in the town.
