PREVIEW PAGES:
“A fun and amazingly informative graphic novel I found hard to put down, Four-Fisted Tales is chock full of fascinating stories about animals that have fought—and died—alongside soldiers throughout history, all complemented beautifully by Ben Towle’s classic Roy Crane-esque cartooning.”
—Jake Tapper, CNN anchor
“Four-Fisted Tales brings you animal stories you had no idea you needed! From time immemorial to the Gulf War and beyond, each animal, each story makes you say, ‘What? No way!’ All brought to vivid life by the artistry of Ben Towle!”
—Jeff Smith, writer and illustrator of Bone
“Four-Fisted Tales is a stellar graphic history whose art is exemplary, capturing action, humor, and poignancy alike.”
—Foreword Reviews
In virtually every military conflict in recorded history animals have fought—and often died—alongside their human counterparts. While countless stories of the men and women who’ve served in the trenches, jungles, and deserts of the world’s battlefields have been told, Four-Fisted Tales: Animals in Combat shares the stories of the animals who fought alongside them.
From Hannibal’s elephants in ancient Rome to mine-sniffing rats in Vietnam and everything in between, Four-Fisted Tales highlights the real-life contributions of these underappreciated animal warriors. Whether in active combat or simply as companions, these animals served and made their mark on history.
