1st printing. By Timothy K. Perttul. Foreword by Thomas R. Hester. First published in 1992 and now updated with a new preface by the author and a foreword by Thomas R. Hester, "The Caddo Nation" investigates the early contacts between the Caddoan peoples of the present-day Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas region and Europeans, including the Spanish, French, and some Euro-Americans.

The work focuses on changes from A.D. 1520 to ca. A.D. 1800 and challenges many long-standing assumptions about the nature of these changes.

Story and art by Nathan Hale.

In the early 1800s, Texas was a wild and dangerous land fought over by the Mexican government, Native Americans, and settlers from the United States. Beginning with the expeditions of the so-called "Land Pirates," through the doomed stand at the Alamo, and ending with the victory over Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, the entire Texas saga is on display. Through his vivid depiction and additional maps, and biographies located in the back of the book, Nathan Hale brings new insight for students, teachers, and historians into one of the most iconic structures in the United States.

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!

1st printing. Collects Preacher (1995-2000) #1-7. Written by Garth Ennis. Art by Steven Dillon. Cover by Glenn Fabry. At first glance, the Reverend Jesse Custer doesn't look like anyone special--just another small-town minister slowly losing his flock and his faith. But he's about to come face-to-face with proof that God does indeed exist. Merging with a bizarre spiritual force called Genesis, Jesse now possesses the power of the Word, an ability to make people obey whatever he utters. He begins a violent and riotous journey across the country in search of answers from the elusive deity. But those answers are going to be hard-won--especially considering what Heaven has sent to stop him. This compact volume is the beginning of the Preacher saga, one of the most celebrated comics titles of the late 1990s. Created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, this modern American epic of life, death, love, and redemption is also packed with sex, booze, blood, and bullets--not to mention angels, demons, God, vampires, and deviants of all stripes--making for one of the most viscerally appealing tales ever to see four-color print.
