Because America is a country that is very much divided between the urban and the rural, I always try to feature both of them in the days leading up to Independence Day.
In 2017, I was visiting family in Arkansas when I came this country cemetery. It was a very peaceful day, so peaceful that I was joined by not only a squirrel but also a deer. Ever since that day, the pictures below are what I think about the American countryside.

I was driving down a country road when it started raining. I stopped the car and I took this picture. Despite the storm, the sky was blue.

Whenever I go to the Dallas Arboretum, I see this house sitting on the other side of White Rock Lake. Usually, there’s a Texas flag flying from the flagpole. I don’t know who lives there but I do feel like I know their home.
In the world of the comics, there were many costumed heroes during World War II. Everyone from Superman to Captain America to Captain Marvel did their part for the war effort, battling Nazis abroad and traitors at home. However, one of the first costumed heroes was unique because, in an age dominated by super-powered men, she was a woman who simply decided that she could better aid her country by wearing a costume and fighting its enemies. By day, she was Joan Wayne, a stenographer. But, when America’s enemies needed a good beat down, she became Miss Victory!
With this being Independence Day weekend, it seems appropriate to take a moment and pay our respects to one of the first female super heroes of World War II, Miss Victory!

This cover is a part of the Hard Case line of pulp reprints. Obviously, this was written a long time before Jurassic Park.
