In Grant vs. Lee, graphic novel author and artist Wayne Vansant narrates the story of the two greatest generals during the last year of the Civil War: General Ulysses S. Grant and General Robert E. Lee. With his signature illustrative style and renowned historical accuracy, Vansant recounts the horrific battles between Grant's Union Army and Lee's Confederates: Grant's loss of 17,000 men in a single day at Chancellorsville, the yearlong stalemate at Petersburg and the near starvation of the Confederate Army, the final battle at Sayler's Creek, and Lee's ultimate surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.

Meticulously researched and illustrated, Bombing Nazi Germany tells the story of the first and second generations of airmen, soldiers, and politicians from both sides who sought to bomb the enemy into submission. Vansant traces the development of the wildly controversial Strategic Bombing doctrine in the 1920s and 1930s, the early stages of WWII and the dominance of the German Luftwaffe, and the eventual 1942 involvement of the United States' 8th Air Force and its vast fleet of B-17 and B-24 bombers. Vansant also illustrates the lesser-known perspective of the brave German pilots five miles above the earth who fought not to protect Hitler's Reich, but their homes and families.

Fought in the winter of 1944-1945, the coldest season in over 100 years, the Battle of the Bulge still ranks as the single largest battle ever fought by the United States Army. Thirty-one American divisions, fully one-third of the U.S. Army raised during World War II, saw action in this battle. In Battle of the Bulge, author and artist Wayne Vansant brings readers into the frozen foxholes, haunting forests, and devastated villages of the Ardennes during that freezing cold winter. With meticulous historical accuracy and hand-drawn visuals that can tell a story in ways words alone cannot, Vansant recounts the Bulge with insightful detail, replaying the thrusts and volleys of both the combined Allied and German forces during the tumultuous battle.

Though nearly everyone has heard of it, almost no one has known anything about it - until now. Located in the remote Nevada desert near the dry bed of Groom Lake, Area 51 is the most famous military installation in the world that doesn't 'officially' exist. In Area 51, author Dwight Zimmerman and artist Greg Scott unravel the real history, minus the aliens and sci-fi movie plots, revealing in detail how for more than 60 years, the CIA, the U.S. Air Force, and aerospace company Lockheed Martin have all used Area 51 as a staging ground for test flights of experimental or highly classified aircrafts. This first-of-its-kind graphic history strips away the fantastical aspects of this mysterious location and establishes the actual, significant history made there.

The Battle of Gettysburg is a landmark event in United States history. Widely recognized as the Civil War's turning point, it accounted for the most casualties of any battle during the war and spelled the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. In this powerful graphic history, Wayne Vansant describes the history leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg, as well all of the major military events, including the famous fight for Little Round Top and the death march known as Pickett's Charge. Vansant concludes with the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery in November, 1863, when Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most important speeches of all time, the Gettysburg Address.
