About this Collection

This third volume of Larry Gonick's acclaimed series continues his witty and informative illustrated journey through world history, covering the rise of Islam, the Crusades, the Mongol invasions, and the dawn of the Renaissance. Spanning from the 7th to the 16th centuries, it maintains the signature blend of humor, meticulous research, and sequential art that makes complex historical narratives accessible to readers of all ages.

In "No Pictures, Please!", Larry Gonick brings his signature wit and clarity to a vivid tour of Europe and Asia from 1081 to 1200 A.D., navigating the turbulent currents of the First through Fourth Crusades and the sweeping invasions of Jenghis Khan and Kublai Khan. With his distinctive blend of humor and historical insight, Gonick charts a complex era of war, faith, and empire—illustrated, inked, lettered, and cover-designed entirely by himself.
