Icon

    (Milestone, 1993-1997)
Milestone

Icon is one of Milestone’s more interesting takes on the subject of racial relations. Its title character, Augustus Freeman, is an alien who crashed on our planet over 150 years ago, taking the form of a black human baby. Extremely long-lived, he is now a conservative lawyer, living in a suburb of Dakota. Until recently, he had concentrated on his own affairs. Then a gang of youngsters broke into his house and tried to burglarize it. The would-be thieves were stunned, however, when Freeman took several shots to the chest, only to rise again, and fly after them.

Later, a young girl named Raquel came to visit Freeman. She had been along with the other teens that night, but when she saw what he could do, she had other thoughts. She returned to challenge Freeman to be an icon—a super-powered symbol of hope to his people. And of course, she, a street-smart liberal, would be his sidekick.
