  Plot
  Simon Pure is immortal, but he struggles to learn from his mistakes, and instead of being a divine gift, it feels more like a punishment. The vision of immortality presented in this comic is unique and honest. Set against the backdrop of the birth of the United States as a nation, it features real-life characters in extraordinary situations filled with mysteries and paranormal phenomena, where the origin of Simon's power has an explanation that transcends the science we know.
  
  This volume includes three story arcs.
  
  The first, from issue #1 to #7, narrates the hero's journey of this unconventional character: a deserter, a charlatan, a rogue, a womanizer, and incredibly clumsy, with an endearing naiveté that will st eal your heart. The narrative pace is thrilling, and the dialogue is a delight. Among all the characters and stories that make up this first arc, the story revolves around the friendship between Simon and a teenage Albert Einstein.
  
  The second arc, spanning issues #8-11, features three distinct, self-contained stories where Simon encounters legendary figures from American history who lived during the Revolutionary War, such as Annie Oakley and Johnny Appleseed. A story about the war reveals other psychopathic criminals operating undetected, where Simon's naiveté, clumsiness, and overconfidence lead him into and out of trouble.
  
  The third arc, from issues #12-14, introduces THE NORTHERNER, a mysterious time traveler attempting to halt a terrible historical shift orchestrated by another traveler named Mr. Cobbler.
  
  THE NORTHERNER hails from an alternate future where the South wins the American Civil War. His goal is to prevent this temporal change because the United States as a nation will never be born, which would mean Simon's death. The Northerner and Simon Pure connect with Geiger and Junkyard Joe in a way that is significant and pivotal to the UNNAMED universe.
  
  The narrative, which blends historical facts with elements of magic realism, makes this volume entertaining, educational, and brilliant.
  
  This giant size deluxe edition includes a wealth of bonus material about the creative process behind this masterpiece.
