‘Private American’ Sequel Needs YOU
Mike Baron and veteran friends deliver follow-up to unwoke original
The Daily Wire’s upcoming movie reportedly tells a different side of the modern ICE story.
And, right on cue, the Left rushed in to stop the film in its tracks. That’s a small example of what right-leaning storytellers face in a censorious industry.
When veteran comic book writer/author Mike Baron introduced “Private American” in 2022, he wanted to showcase the dangers of open-border policies. Hollywood wouldn’t tell that story, so he stepped up to do just that.
Right on cue, two major crowdfunding platforms booted the project. Even worse? A pre-Elon Musk Twitter permanently banned the title’s account.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) covered the crowdfunding controversy surrounding the comic book Private American in an entry titled Crowdfundr Suspension of Private American comic book and on its podcast, So to Speak.

The project survived despite the Left’s ongoing war on speech. The creative team worked around the censorship, eventually snagging a deal with Antarctic Press to pick it up for wider publication.
Now, the story’s Cuban-American hero, Marcos Zamora, is back for more action, adventure and a heaping helping of political satire.
The sequel, “Private American and The Deplorables,” is 72 pages of action, suspense and satire. Their motto? “No capes. No safe spaces. No apologies.”
The new crowdfunding campaign launched on Veterans’ Day, a purposeful nod to the nation and the title’s creators. Interior artist and co-creator Richard Bonk served in the U.S. Army, while campaign manager Chris Braly is a U.S. Navy Seabee veteran.
To bolster that message, a special Patriot’s Salute Bundle is available, benefiting Comic Books for Troops. The nonprofit steers comics into the hands of American service members.
Eisner Award-winning Baron, whose voluminous credits include “The Punisher,” “Nexus” and “The Flash,” is back for the new installment.

“Private American” followed a former Green Beret fighting back against the flood of human traffickers and drug smugglers pouring over the Biden-era’s porous border.
The sequel will ring more than a few bells for those reading the latest headlines.
“This second volume deals with an assassination attempt on the President at an MMA fight, breaking up a Chinese fentanyl smuggler ring, going after a cartel of human traffickers, and trying to stop Muslim terrorists from turning America’s 250th into a tragedy of catastrophic proportions,” Baron tells HiT. “It’s a bigger story, and also a bigger team this time.”
