Jack Jackson, who is credited with creating what many consider the firstunderground comic, God Nose, also cartooned a legacy of historical graphicnovels that has never been equaled. Jack Jackson was a Texan, and in the1970s he began writing and drawing short historical comics about Texas history. He then went on to produce six graphic novels chronicling 19th century Westernhistory focusing on his beloved Texas and the Plains Indians. Fantagraphics isproud to bring his graphic histories back into print in a series of threevolumes, each reprinting two of his long narratives. The first volume featuresLos Tejanos, which Fantagraphics published as a solo book in 1981, and LostCause (1998) - chronicling Texas history before and after the Civil War. Los Tejanos is the story of the Texas-Mexican conflict between 1835 and 1875 asseen through the eyes of tejano Juan Seguín (literally a Texan ofMexican, as distinct from Anglo, heritage). It is through Seguín thatJackson humanizes Texas' fight for independence and provides a human scale forthis vast and complex story. Lost Cause documents the violent reaction toReconstruction by Texans. The tensions caused by Reconstruction are told throughthe Taylor-Sutton feud, which raged across South Texas, embracing twogenerations and causing untold grief, and the gunslinger John Wesley Hardin, whoswept across Texas killing Carpetbaggers, Federal soldiers, andIndians. | Jack Jackson's American History, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
