Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Following the success of Science Comics, First Second is launching a new nonfiction series: History Comics! Travel back in time to the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, the deserts of the American southwest, the riot at the Stonewall Inn, and beyond! With History Comics, the past comes alive in a way that's edifying, entertaining, and relevant to our modern lives.In this volume, turn the clock back to 1590. A century before the Pilgrims, the first English settlers established the colony of Roanoke. But without warning, all its inhabitants abandoned their homes and disappeared without a trace. Can you separate fact from fiction and solve this mystery filled with brutal battles, perilous pirate ships, ruthless queens, and enough skeletons to fill a graveyard?
Over a hundred years before the pilgrims, the very first English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island. But without warning, these colonists abandoned their new home and disappeared without a trace. What happened to the colonists? To figure it out, we'll need to investigate how these missing settlers got to Roanoke in the first place, and what the people already living there thought about these strange foreigners. It's a case filled with brutal battles, perilous pirate ships, ruthless queens, scheming businessmen, and enough skeletons to fill a graveyard.
