Stars and Stripes Comics #2

When Minimidget and Ritty volunteer to deliver serum to remote mountain cabins in their tiny three-foot plane, they find themselves caught between a forced landing, a desperate miner fleeing a bear, and claim jumpers who've stolen his gold claim. With the serum safely delivered, Minimidget must use all his strength and cunning to help the old prospector reclaim his cabin and secure fuel for the return flight—but their troubles multiply when a forest fire threatens everyone involved, and the duo faces a harrowing choice about who deserves saving.

Benjamin Franklin stands as one of history's most remarkable figures—a polymath who arrived in Philadelphia with nothing but the clothes on his back and went on to pioneer everything from the first American library and fire department to revolutionary work in electricity and meteorology. Despite having only two years of formal schooling, this American patriot mastered five languages, invented groundbreaking devices, composed music, and championed causes like the abolition of slavery decades before his contemporaries. "An Amazing Man" by Joseph A. Kaliff celebrates the staggering range of Franklin's contributions to American innovation and society.
