America at the end of the Twentieth Century was a dangerous place.
It was a place conceived in liberty, yet threatened by the forces
of oppression and evil. It was a place where fanatics -- political
and religious, foreign and domestic--sharpened their swords to
attack an innocent populace whose love of freedom was matched only
by its lack of irony. It was a sick place in need of sick heroes.
And so they came: PORNO GIRL, whose consumption of filth was merely
a disguise to conceal her purity of soul... THE RACIST RANGER,
whose repugnant jibber-jabber masked the fact that his strength was
as the strength of ten... And Danny Clayton, the infamous LAUGHIN'
BOY -- born in tragedy, caught in a despicable act -- who would
become both the most beloved and most hated man on earth. In other
words: Its Savior. Or not. It would depend on whether he lived long
enough for the rest of us to find out
