"The Pirates" is a dramatic account of a little-known conflict—The Barbary Wars. Pirates along the Barbary coast of Africa are capturing ships and demanding tribute payments, but President Thomas Jefferson decides enough is enough. He sends the U.S. Navy and Marines to the Barbary Coast to put an end to this piracy. Today, the Barbary Wars echo down to us in the line of the Marine Corps hymn about “the shores of Tripoli,” but most know little about the conflict. Explore it all in "The Pirates."

"The President" traces the birth of our nation through George Washington’s two terms, culminating in his death as the new century begins. Washington voluntarily gave up the power of the presidency because he never sought to be a king—just one example of his greatness. As the eulogy for Washington stated, he is “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” "The President" explains why this is true, even today.

If that event did not occur, then Jesus is not God as he said, and we can have no hope of new bodies and a new existence for our future. This comic book examines the many reasons and events that point to the resurrection of Jesus Christ and some very convincing proofs of why the resurrection of Christ was a true event.
