Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: Donner Dinner Party & Above the Trenches

These are a set of beautifully produced one-color graphic novels (each book has a different color, in addition to black and white) about history, with the frame device of Nathan Hale playing Scheherazade for his hangman and a British officer. (The author really is named Nathan Hale and is a descendant of the original.) They're fun and often funny without being trivializing; the end of Above the Trenches is a real gut-punch.

I got them for my shop and read them on a slow day, and was completely engrossed. In particular, the one on the Donner Party made the events more clear to me than they'd ever been before. The graphics there were excellent.

Thanks to everyone who recced them! I hope they sell so I can have the excuse to buy more, because I would like to read more.
