Ive heard many retellings of the Klans origins but it never occurred to me to look into what drove them from the bright lights of influence to a cabal of extremists operating, supposedly, in the shadows. And it is an ugly tale, full of corruption, ego, entitlement run amok, fear of change, fear of the other, fear of losing one's god given right to supremacy over all. Yetdespite it allin the end, the promise of a better tomorrow demands its day. With The Invisible Empire, artist Marc Borstal, and writers Micky Neilson and Todd Warger have created a brief history of organized hate in postbellum America, and using an economy of words and pictures, populated it with complex, compromised, often brutal characters. Most brutal of all...its all true..." -- HO CHE ANDERSON (writer/artist for KING: A COMICS BIOGRAPHY, I WANT TO BE YOUR DOG, GODHEAD, and SCREAM QUEEN) "Beautiful artwork illustrating an ugly face in American history. Pulled from real events to remind us to not be fooled by the fears of others and we can be better at being human beings. GOOD STUFF!!"
-- J.J. Kirby "Micky Neilson and Todd Warger have written a vivid and chilling depiction of a century-old story with gripping truths that impacted me far beyond the last page."
-- Genese Davis
