\"\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] Forget John. Don’t even think about Barrack. And push Hillary out of your brain. Bill too, while you’re at it… Because there’s a new champion for the American people and his name is Uncle Slam! Part soldier, part machine, and all patriot\u2013Uncle Slam is coming to the rescue in this funny and biting one-shot that isn’t going to take anything else sitting down. It’s about time that UNCLE SLAM FIGHTS BACK! \u201cUncle Slam is an idealistic innocent. He believes in the American\u00a0Dream, but his vision of that dream is a little warped,\u201d said creator Ande Parks. \u201cOur story features Uncle Slam fighting a giant robotic
\nversion of the evils facing our nation… terror, immigration, and gay marriage, on the stage of the Republican Convention! What could be more American than that?!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all the drama already in full swing from the primaries and the guaranteed tension that’s going to mount right before the 2008 election, we think UNCLE SLAM is the breath of satiric relief the comic community’s going to need,\u201d commented Oni Press Editor in Chief James Lucas Jones.<\/p>\n

When asked about working on UNCLE SLAM, artist T.J. Kirsch responded, \u201cI was excited from the start to work with Ande Parks and Oni on Uncle Slam. Who wouldn’t want to draw a comic starring an out-of-touch patriotic superhero and his robo-dalmatian? These characters have great personality and I hope that comes through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUNCLE SLAM FIGHTS BACK will leave our hero in a better place than we find him,\u201d concluded Parks. \u201cOur story helps Slam remember what he really used to fight for; the promise of a country where a man could wake each morning certain that he would be greeted by a safe, warm house in a safe, warm neighborhood with safe, warm potential at every corner. Oh, and a safe, warm, perfectly fried corndog.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNCLE SLAM FIGHTS BACK! The biting political satire hits stands just in time for the 2008 convention season. With 48 black-&-white pages of madcap comedy for only $4.99, this is a \u201cnot-to-miss\u201d title leading up to this year’s election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
