big hat, or how the west was won and what it got us written by matt fraction an original graphic novel AiT/PlanetLar coming soon ### about bighat Ours is a nation built on the work of Bad Men doing Terrible Things, terrible enough that they cannot be forgotten, nor forgiven. Most times, we choose to ignore it. To beat back the savagery of the American Dream, we became animals in the name of Manifest Destiny, beasts as horrible as anything encountered from sea to shining sea. And now, in our cities, our towns, our homes, we let neither animal nor beast sit at the dinner table, especially those that walk like men. Sometimes doing the right thing means killing a whole lot or people, sure—but does that make us bad men? Can we escape the sins of the past, committed in the name of a greater good? What makes a man a man? And how can you ever hope to explain it to your son? Your family? Ours is a nation built on blood. So in the end... how do you sleep? Ten years have passed since the town of Jericho took its last bloody leap forward out of the savage wilderness of the wild west and into the civilazation of the American dream. At the heart of it all, the town’s heroes were just two men (who, at best, thought of themselves as survivors): One a gunslinger, settled down and forced once again into the breach; the other a nomad and killer, searching the desert for peace, for rest. Once the best of friends, now on a collison course between the past and the future. links read the first ten pages of script AiT/PlanetLar
