US 1 Fan Love Contest
US-1 COMIN’ AT YA!
Long long ago, in a land called 1982, there was a man named Ulysses Solomon Archer. He always wanted to grow up to be a trucker. Even though the fates conspired against U.S. by making him a genius and a pro athlete, he realized his lofty goal and became the best damn trucker the Marvel Universe has ever seen. In fact he was so damn good that aliens hand-picked him to haul cargo… in space. Now that’s mighty impressive. I only mention it because, sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man, and I’m talkin’ about U.S. Archer here. Sometimes, there’s a man… Well… He’s the man for his time and place. So now’s the time to show him the appreciation he rightly deserves.
BREAKER BREAKER ONE NINER
Now is the time to show U.S. Archer some fan love! He’s recently been resurrected in Marvel comics going by the handle, “U.S. Ace” in Brian Clevinger’s Infinity Gauntlet miniseries and a Stuart Moore-scribed issue of Deadpool Team-Up. You don’t have to have read his early 80s maxi-series or anything he’s ever been in really – Lord knows Brian didn’t! But stock up on basic knowledge of this crazy character and his ridiculous premise -then let your creative juices flow! Glorious prizes await!
