Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: Big Bad Ironclad!

128 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0395-9 $12.95
(2) 4-6 Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale (no relation, though the author effectively milks the joke) stalls his execution (Spy) and narrates a Civil War naval battle (Ironclad). The accessible writing is entertaining; comic panels of varying sizes enhance the real-life events and support the over-the-top humor. Spy has an appended "mini-comic." Back matter includes brief biographies and (sort of) bibliographies. Timeline (Ironclad). Review covers these two Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: Big Bad Ironclad! and One Dead Spy
