Samuel Joseph Glanzman was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1924. He dropped out of high school and got a job at Centaur Publications in Manhattan, where he worked on Amazing-Man comics. In 1941, at the age of 16, he created the superhero Fly-Man for Harvey Comics, but the superhero was vis mere not a success. During World War II, he enlisted in the Navy and served in the Pacific on the destroyer Stevens. After he left the Navy, he worked in lumber mills, cabinet shops, and boatyards before assembling .50-caliber guns on fighter jets for Republic Aviation. In the 1950s, he began writing and illustrating again and worked for various comic book companies. He built his reputation for wartime storytelling in comic books like Combat and graphic novels like A Sailor's Story and U.S.S. Stevens: The Collected Stories. He also illustrated Tarzan and Hercules comics, as well a dinosaur series called Kona, Monarch of Monster Isle. He later wrote and illustrated graphic novels about a time-traveling cave man named Attu. He died on July 12, 2017 at the age of 92. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

I give the story itself 4 stars! Good western revenge tale with a decent amount of social commentary (lots of Trump supporters at the beginning of story...)! Caleb (a.k.a Red Range) is my kind of frontier hero! And Batiste (a.k.a. Trump Supporter) is an evil bad guy that makes it easy to root against. Again, good story, good artwork, good to read. Left me wondering if we'll ever see "The Pirates of Fireworld" hinted at on the last page. I sure hope so!
