To put Steel into an Anti-bellum setting was a stroke of genius. And to later tie in John Henry Irons with the John Henry of American folklore- that just capped a masterpiece. This is how an Elseworld should be written! Great back story, intense action, even when the “HERO” does not appear in costume until the very end.
Art was stunning- especially the scene in
which the Slave Babies are discovered to have drowned during a massive
rainstorm. So was the script. Very good stuff! Should be required reading for
all comics lovers.
