The July 4th Project Showcases Your American Superhero Creations

Comics fan Chris Duffy has started an art blog featuring variations by many cartoonists on the notion of the patriotic, all-American superhero.

From The July 4th Project:

This blog is for YOUR democracy-loving, 5th column bashing champions of justice. I exhort you in the name of Old Glory to wrack your brain in search of a superhero (or villain) who stands for SOMETHING uniquely American, draw said champion, and send it my way with a description.

My favorite posts so far are The Thousand Points of Light by Bill Alger, Rockets Redglare by Andrei Molotiu and Demolition Dove by Havier Hernandez. A sample of the upcoming Demolition Dove comic is available at Webcomics Nation.
