About this product
Product Information
Devil's Dogis an amazing, illustrated true-life tale of the Marine who fought around the globe and blew the lid off a plot against FDR-combining the best of nonfiction and graphic narratives in a thrilling new format. Major General Smedley Darlington Butler joined the Marine Corps at age sixteen, and two years later took a Chinese bullet to the chest. Butler then fought in Haiti, Nicaragua, and France-and then realized that "war is a racket." Back home, he cleaned up crime in Philadelphia, faced down Herbert Hoover to help destitute veterans, and foiled a plot against FDR masterminded by J.P. Morgan and the DuPonts.

Reviews
"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, "Amazing . . . Spain's comic pages and illustrations are great, as always. . . . This series is a great idea. . . [ Devil Dog ] is an excellent book, and a part of American history that needs telling." -R. Crumb, "These works are smart, direct and engaging. And the subject matter-such as the life of the extraordinary Smedley Butler, or Winston Churchill's SOE and its dirty war behind Nazi lines-angles its way into history in new, surprising ways." -David Simon, creator of The Wire and Treme, "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, "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 ofHeyday, "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 ofHorse Soldiers, "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, "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, "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 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 lively and rich, a rollicking rip through history. Unbelievable! But true."--Evan Thomas, author ofThe War LoversandSea of Thunder, "The true-life story of Smedley Butler will illuminate your life and your understanding of American history in the early twentieth century. It's like no other story I've ever read." -Max Cleland, former U.S. Senator and author of Heart of a Patriot, "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 ofThe Lost City of Z, "These books are a brilliant idea.
