American Century was a comic book series published by DC Comics as a part of the Vertigo imprint starting in early 2001. It was written by Howard Chaykin with pencils by David Tischman. The story concerned a former American pilot who fakes his death and goes on the run in the 1950s. Chaykin intended it as a "left-wing version of Steve Canyon" (American Century #1), and wrote all of the issues. The comic ran for approximately two years.
