Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #[4]
In "How It All Started," Nathan Hale spins a quiet, poignant tale set in the aftermath of World War I, where the weight of history settles on the shoulders of a weary hangman and a provost reflecting on the war’s toll. With his signature blend of wit and gravitas, Hale turns to the familiar story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears as a moment of shared comfort—offering a rare, tender pause in the midst of reflection. The story is written and illustrated by Nathan Hale, with full creative control across art, inks, colors, and lettering, and the cover is also by Hale.

Deserted once the other Central Powers surrender, Germany surrenders too and the Kaiser abdicates. Nathan Hale, the hangman, and the provost review the human cost of the war, and the changes it wrought. So somber is their mood that before going on to another history tale, they comfort themselves by sharing the story of Goldilocks and the three bears.
