A black and white paperback graphic novel for mature readers, Everyman shows how the voting process can be abused and how the citizens can return to the American dream where all voices can make a difference.

It’s 2005 and incumbent war president Henry R. Birch has won reelection thanks to a new electronic voting system that leaves no paper trail for recounts and apparently can be preprogrammed by it’s parent company that is behind Birch one hundred percent. But for award-winning author Thomas Womack, Social engineer Perdita Orozco and presidential aide Manolo Perez, it’s an opportunity to bring the American people back together in the greatest recall ever experienced in the country.

From the Comics Buyer’s Guide:

In the Goldmans’ story, the president of the United States has trampled on the rights of Americans, started a war under false pretenses, and manipulated the most recent presidential election to ensure that he can continue to impose his will on that of the people for another four years.

This story is one in which citizens are not only concerned about the gradual loss of their inalienable rights, but they’re willing to do something about it—not through violence or terrorism, but through the power of the media. And this peaceful coup carries the potential to take down a corrupt presidency.

The story is wordy. It’s slow throughout. The lettering is annoyingly narrow and inconsistently sized. And Joe Bucco’s art is flat and stiff. But the story is also inspirational, because, in the Goldmans’ story, the law-breaking president gets his comeuppance.
