Medieval Tales
Two tales of the 12th century. The
Murder of Thomas Becket changed the role of the government and Church. Abelard and Heloise
is the story of two who wanted to marry for love-unheard of at that time.
Cortez
The incredible saga of how Cortez
with a few hundred men managed to topple one of the great empires of the world. A tale of
God and Greed. Labeled by the LA Reader "finest example of graphic
storytelling."
Plague

those who lived and died in the plague as it swept through Europe and killed over one
third of the population. The 'chronicles' of the dying are accompanied by Vince Locke art.
Song of the Cid
The great El Cid who fought to
bring Spain together and drive out the Moors. Events in Spain were before the Crusades and
were a chilling fore runner of what was to come.

Christ with passages from the Bible and illustrations from Gustave Dore. There are
some historical references to Jesus Christ here as well.
