''Give Me Liberty'' is a four-issue comic book mini-series published by Dark Horse Comics in 1990. It was created and written by Frank Miller and drawn by Dave Gibbons. The title of the series comes from a famous quotation by Patrick Henry: "I know not what course others may take but — as for me — give me liberty or give me death." ==Overview== ''Give Me Liberty'' was one of Frank Miller's two creator-owned (the other was ''Hard Boiled'') titles he took to Dark Horse after deciding to stop working for DC Comics after a dispute over a proposed ratings system. The story is set in a dystopian near-future where the United States have split into several extremist factions, and tells the story of Martha Washington, a young American girl from a public housing project called "The Green" (see Chicago's Cabrini–Green). The series starts with Martha's birth and sees her slowly grow up from someone struggling to break free of the public housing project, to being a war hero and major figure in deciding the fate of the United States. The series was a mix of Miller's typical action sequences as well as being a political satire of the United States and its major corporations. The series proved to be a huge success for Dark Horse and was one of the biggest selling independent comics of the time. A trade paperback was later released and Miller followed up ''Give Me Liberty'' with several sequels continuing the story. All of these sequels were drawn by Dave Gibbons and published by Dark Horse. The titles of the original four issues of ''Give Me Liberty'' were: #''Homes & Gardens'' #''Travel & Entertainment'' #''Health & Welfare'' #''Death & Taxes'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Give Me Liberty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
