"... LEGENDARY COMIC-BOOK ARTIST ALEX ROSS OFFERS HIS OWN INTERPRETATION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PATRIOT..."

PICS INFO: Spotlight on cover page to NYC's "The Village Voice" Vol. XLVIII no. 47 "America's Largest Weekly Newspaper," featuring a full page front cover drawing by Alex Ross of Uncle Sam "giving the finger," c. November 2003.

EXTRA INFO: This painting and/or illustration was originally intended for DC Comics' "Uncle Sam" anthology but was ultimately rejected by the heads of DC for being too controversial. A sketch of the image can be seen in Alex Ross' "MYTHOLOGY" deluxe artbook.

"The Village Voice" describes the article as follows:

"American Gods Legendary Comic-Book Artists Alex Ross and Neal Adams Declare Their Patriot Acts — Legendary comic-book artists Neal Adams and Alex Ross offer their own interpretations of what it means to be a patriot; R.C. Baker burrows deep into the subversive world of these graphic novelists."
