The Liberty Project was a comic book created by Writer Kurt Busiek, creator of Astro City and Thunderbolts and Artist James Fry. The Liberty Project was published by Eclipse Comics in the 1987. It ran to nine issues until 1988 before its cancellation and Busiek was hired by Marvel Comics. In July 2003, The About Comics reprint old issues into a book called The Liberty Project.

It told the story of a team of four former supervillians into a group of superheroes that set up by the U.S. government who offered them a early parole for protecting their country and others against teenage monsters, autocratic space aliens, larcenous old friends and lovers, and made enough wrecked police cars to fill a summer blockbuster.

[edit] The members of The Liberty Project are:

Burnout (Beatrice Keogh) an angry, angst-filled youngster who can generate flames with a mere thought.

Cimarron (Rosalita Vasquez): a feisty, short-tempered Texas hell-raiser.

Slick (Nicholas Walcek): whose name reflects both his slippery powers and his slippery personality.

Crackshot (Lee Alexander Clayton): a marksman who is trying to become a straight shooter in life.
