Historical Souvenir Co. Epic Battles of the Civil War #1

Marvel Comics and Historical Souvenir Co. teamed up in 1998 to launch this educational series with a story centered on one of the Civil War's most pivotal early engagements — First Bull Run. Nick Choles's cover art captures the chaos and smoke of the battlefield vividly, with Union soldiers in blue advancing with rifles at the ready while Confederate forces charge beneath their flags, an explosion bursting dramatically in the background. With writing by William Messner-Loebs and Richard Rockwell, art by Richard Rockwell, inking by Fred Fredericks, colors by Marie Severin, and lettering by John Costanza and Michael Higgins, this is a genuinely accomplished creative team bringing history to life on the page.
