Rick Veitch's The One

“The One is American iconography writ large.” –Nell Gaiman

“The superhero as a panacea for society’s problems.” –Print Magazine

“Post-Watchmen, it’s become fairly common for comics to take a ‘No Heroes’ line… But in THE ONE, Veitch was ahead of the whole game. He’d already seen Moore’s points about the corruptive power of ideologies, the naivety of looking for saviors, and the impotence of costumed heroes. THE ONE makes all those points and then some. Then the story moves on to the larger question: who are the real heroes… who will save us from ourselves?” —popmatters.com
