named Emanuel Santana. The setting of the series was a chaotic, post-apocalyptic United States.
Publication history
Twenty-four issues of the first series were published.After the series ended, a short comic featuring Santana's marriage ceremony was published inside Timothy Truman's first album release entitled Marauder by his band The Dixie Pistols.
Two brief mini-series were published that 'bridged the gap' between the two Scout series: New America and Swords of Texas, each 4 issues long. While Truman oversaw them, others wrote and drew them. A one-shot 'Scout Handbook' was also published.

Plot
Relatively eco-political and also with a semi-mythical element (due to Emanuel Santana's Apache origin), both series had a gritty and violent portrayal of the future. One interesting facet of this fiction was the underdog position of the USA on the world political stage. The story posited that a history of past ecological excesses had led other nations to levy vast sanctions against the USA. The situation was similar to that of Germany after World War I, but instead of having lost a war of invasion, this was due to responsibility for "stealing" world resources.Author Michael A. Sheyahshe noted in Native Americans in Comic Books - A Critical Study, that "Scout is presented in a respectful and genuine manner with tribally specific cultural ties."
