2019 Bigger Badder Edition - 1st Printing. Story, art, and cover by Nathan Hale. Remember the Alamo! That rallying cry has gone down in Texas history. But what, exactly, should we remember? Who were the ragtag group of adventurers behind the famous slogan, and how did they end up barricaded in a fort against a Mexican army? Who survived, who died, and how? In the early 1800s, Native Americans, the Mexican government, and settlers from other areas of the United States were fighting over the territory that would become the Lone Star state. Here, vivid illustrations—rendered in black, white, and shades of gray, with tinges of yellow—and witty text tell the story, from Texass near wilderness beginnings to the Battle of the Alamo and General Sam Houstons ultimate victory over General Antonio López de Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto! Hardcover, 7 1/2-in. x 10 1/2-in., 148 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II. Volunteers were requested for a dangerous secret assignment - for the first time in American history, Army bombers would be launched from an aircraft carrier. Once at sea, they were told their mission was a retaliation strike against targets in Tokyo. After the bombing, some pilots crashed, some were captured, and many ended up in mainland China and were carried to safety by Chinese villagers, being hunted by Japanese forces all the while. With tales of high-flying action and bravery, Raid of No Return is a story of heartbreak and survival during wartime.

Story and art by Nathan Hale.

John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) always had the spirit of adventure in him.

As a young man, he traveled all over the United States exploring. When the Civil War began, Powell went to fight for the Union and, even after he lost most of his right arm, he continued to fight until the war's end. In 1869 he embarked with the Colorado River Exploring Expedition, ten men in four boats, to float through Grand Canyon. Over the course of three months, the explorers lost their boats and supplies, nearly drowned, and were in peril on multiple occasions. Ten explorers went in, only six came out.

Powell would come to be known as one of the most epic explorers in history!
