The lone warrior Garlon trudges across the wild lands, slaying the missionaries of the East wherever he finds them. Using arcane skills that allow him to do battle in the dreamworld known as the Whorl, he terrorizes his victims for days before seeking them out for a final confrontation. When he finally arrives at the first great city of the East, he almost despairs, seeing that the servants of the Eastern gods outnumber him thousands to one. Then a monstrous ally points out that Garlon can address the problem at its source, so he decides to join forces with it to hunt the gods themselves. While Garlon is learning about the universe beyond his world of Mitris, a mysterious being of the Whorl seduces him. Before he can determine if she is truly friend or foe, he is marching off to battle with her at one side and the spawn of a monster on his other.

Comic Books and American Cultural History is an anthology that examines the ways in which comic books can be used to understand the history of the United States. Over the last twenty years, there has been a proliferation of book-length works focusing on the history of comic books, but few have investigated how comics can be used as sources for doing American cultural history. These original essays illustrate ways in which comic books can be used as resources for scholars and teachers. Part 1 of the book examines comics and graphic novels that demonstrate the techniques of cultural history; the essays in Part 2 use comics and graphic novels as cultural artifacts; the third part of the book studies the concept of historical identity through the 20th century; and the final section focuses on different treatments of contemporary American history. Discussing topics that range from romance comics and Superman to American Flagg! and Ex Machina, this is a vivid collection that will be useful to anyone studying comic books or teaching American history.
