GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY SERIES

Graphic Biography Series 'U.S.'

'U.S.' represents the beginning of a series of biographies that relate history's mostly untold stories. Scores have devoted their lives and energy to advance the human condition, but whose stories are often not known. The brief roster below represents but a few of the stories that are waiting to be adapted and written, and enjoyed. Our plan is to expand this roster and publish a range of biographies across various areas and support the titles with historiographical resources.
