About this Collection

This graphic novel recounts the Apache Wars of the late 19th century through the eyes of key Apache figures, including Geronimo and Naiche, blending historical events with personal narratives. Written and illustrated by Ethan Hawke and Greg Ruth, the story draws from firsthand accounts and oral traditions to explore themes of survival, loss, and resistance. The collection presents a visually striking and emotionally charged perspective on a pivotal chapter in American history.

"Part One: A Blessing and a Curse" marks a pivotal moment in Ethan Hawke’s Indeh, a story rooted in the complex realities of the Apache Wars. With Greg Ruth’s evocative artwork and lettering, the issue captures the tense atmosphere as translator Mickey Free attempts to provoke conflict, while General Oliver Howard, guided by his faith, seeks peace—though few believe it can last. The cover by Greg Ruth perfectly frames the weight of that fragile hope.
