Ken Yamaoka, a third-generation Japanese-American, has all the qualifications of a presidential candidate: he studied at Yale, he fought in the front lines in Vietnam, and he has been a Senator for several terms. Now, as he challenges the Vice President for the Democratic presidential nomination, a young Japanese journalist, Takashi Jo, is sent on assignment to Washington, D.C. to study Yamaoka. What is his platform? What is his true personality? And, inevitably, what are the hard questions about his past? Told in an intelligent yet exciting manner, EAGLE presents a near-future vision of America as seen through the eyes of one of Japan's most politically aware manga artists. "Compulsive reading...the story caught hold of me right away," says COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE.
