ANTHEM is a darker saga of an alternate Earth, and of the super-heroes who were created to save it. In this world, Pearl Harbor wasn't just an attack by Japanese planes on a sleepy Hawaiian base. It was a full-blown assault on the US West Coast by Imperial Japanese forces spearheaded by a towering monster that could mop up the ocean with Godzilla, and on the East Coast by Nazi shock troops... and ray-firing flying saucers!
Driven back into the American interior, the desperate US survivors spawned Project Anthem, creating a handful of young superheroes, some of whose powers and names reflected the words of The Star-Spangled Banner: Dawns Earlylight, Native American super-archeress Stars & Stripes, two twins with very special abilities Rockets & Redglare, a flaming human rocket BombBurst, a very explosive warrior Liberty, a living incarnation of the proud statue the enemy destroyed in New York Harbor and Stonewall Jackson, a living being of rock from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Led by the mysterious Agent 76, they battle the forces that have conquered Europe and Asia and now mean to trample America as the last hold-out of freedom. And they've got the power to do it!
The catch is that the Axis forces have been developing super-beings of their own, and they have an ace up their sleeve that will give even Agent 76 and the young heroes of Anthem a run for their money!
Created by Roy Thomas and published by Heroic Publishing, Anthem follows super humans created to fight against Nazis armed with alien technology from conquering the United States.
