Written by Ian Rosenberg. Art and cover by Michael Cavallaro.

Freedom of speech is perhaps the most American of virtues. In a nation where everyone wants to speak and be heard, this First Amendment right is vital to our identity and our democracy. These rights have advanced by people who spoke out and fought in our nation's highest court, with each decision refining and reshaping what exactly "free speech" means.

In Free Speech Handbook, Ian Rosenberg and Mike Cavallaro trace this turbulent history across ten seminal Supreme Court cases while drawing parallels with more recent controversies.

Art by Henry Vallely. The first-ever appearance of the Lone Ranger in comic books, originally sold as a mail-in offer for an ice cream company (which is why the masked hero carries an ice-cream cone). Adapted not from the comic strip, but from the Big Little Book Lone Ranger and His Horse Silver, also illustrated by Henry Vallely. The BLB illustrations form a sort of comic-strip version of the story. The masked hero of the West battles outlaws with help from his sidekick Tonto and faithful horse Silver, never even waiting for anyone to thank him. This is believed to be the first Western comic book devoted to a single character. Back cover features an ad for Lone Ranger Picture Rings. 32 pages, B&W.

Poster Variant. Art by Henry Vallely. The first-ever appearance of the Lone Ranger in comic books, originally sold as a mail-in offer for an ice cream company (which is why the masked hero carries an ice-cream cone). Adapted not from the comic strip, but from the Big Little Book Lone Ranger and His Horse Silver, also illustrated by Henry Vallely. The BLB illustrations form a sort of comic-strip version of the story.  The masked hero of the West battles outlaws with help from his sidekick Tonto and faithful horse Silver, never even waiting for anyone to thank him. This scarce Poster Variant features a full-color poster pasted over the centerfold, and a smaller poster pasted over the back cover. This is believed to be the first Western comic book devoted to a single character. 32 pages, B&W.

Reed's moms are about to leave for a summer trip, and he can't wait to spend his break playing games and making videos with his friends. But it turns out that after a year of suffering science grades, Reed's parents have called in reinforcements: his big sister, Olive, who's come home from college to help him out.

At first, Reed's furious to have to swap his internet time for summer school, but it turns out that science is more than just memorizing facts from books. Olive's planned a jam-packed week of hands-on experiments, and bit by bit Reed has to admit that science can be kind of cool.
