Of Dust & Blood

Overview

Equal parts graphic novel and beautiful art object, this is a well-researched look at an important piece of American history

This thrilling tale details the day of The Battle at The Little Big Horn through the eyes of Greenhaw, a 7th Cavalry scout on one side of the battlefield, and Slowhawk, a young Lakota warrior on the other. Featuring appearances of Sitting Bull, G.A. Custer, and Crazy Horse, as well as generous portions of meticulously researched history on every page, the book's art has been lauded as tremendously beautiful—each page worthy of hanging on the wall as a solo piece.
