The Last of Us: American Dreams is a four-issue miniseries of comic books written by Neil Druckmann and lead artist Faith Erin Hicks, published by Dark Horse Comics in 2013.[1] It is based on the video game The Last of Us and serves as a prequel to the original story.[2]

Plot introduction

The comic series centers around Ellie, the character of The Last of Us, nineteen years after a parasitic fungal outbreak that killed the majority of the world's human population. The thirteen-year-old Ellie has grown up in a quarantine zone, which is heavily guarded by soldiers. The story of American Dreams begins when she enters the military boarding school, where she quickly earns new enemies, a new fellow rebel called Riley and her first trip into the outside world, where the real danger lies.

Publication

Dark Horse approached creative director Neil Druckmann, who was working on The Last of Us, to produce a tie-in comic book series for the game. Druckmann was initially wary of the idea, but eventually agreed when he realized Dark Horse "didn't want to do something tangential" with the opportunity of expanding their characters and universe beyond the game.[1] Webcomic artist Faith Erin Hicks was chosen by Druckmann to work on the project.[1]
