Sinopsis:

Críticas: "Amazing . . . This series is a great idea." --R. Crumb "These books are a brilliant idea. This is history at its most engaging and dramatic." --Dave Eggers, author of "Zeitoun" and "What Is the What" "These surprising stories leap off the colorful page in an utterly fresh way--history and dramatic storytelling live anew here. This entertaining series will appeal to readers of many different ages and experiences." --Doug Stanton, author of "Horse Soldiers" "I believe in superheroes, but I believe even more in real-life heroes! That's what Pulp History is all about. Their stories inspire us all. If they do it, maybe we can, too!" --Max Cleland, former U.S. Senator and author of "Heart of a Patriot" "A stew of ka-pow! color graphics, unsung heroes and neck-slitting villains . . . 'Pulp History' blends action comics and stories of people whose lives were stranger than fiction. The result is a unique, eye-popping literary hybrid." --Meredith May, "San Francisco Chronicle" "Pulp History is lively and rich, a rollicking rip through history. Unbelievable! But true." --Evan Thomas, author of "The War Lovers" and "Sea of Thunder" "These books are smart, cool and incredibly absorbing. I wish I'd had them when I was a kid. But that hasn't stopped me from devouring them as a grown-up."--Lev Grossman, author of "The Magicians" "These beautifully told and illustrated books unearth parts of our lost history and transform them into utterly gripping yarns that thrill at every turn. The Pulp History series is the rarest find: accounts that are faithful to the historical record and yet have the spell of the greatest adventure novels." --David Grann, author of "The Lost City of Z" "Pulp History is a brilliant, beautifully executed idea. As I groped for appropriate praise to lavish on these nifty works of bona fide and little-known history--'fabulous, ' 'fantastic, ' 'incredible'--I kept coming up with words that are synonymous with fiction. Which I guess is part of the point. Bravo." --Kurt Andersen, author of "Heyday" "This approach to history may never win Pulitzers, but that doesn't appear to be its aim. It's too busy kicking ass." --Ben Marks, KQED
