KNOW YOUR AMERICA "King Phillip's War"

Ten-Hut!

From post-World War II America, we go to pre-Revolutionary War New England...

...to tell the tale of one of the lesser-known conflicts between colonists and natives.

"King Phillip's" real name was Metacomet.

Though Indians are portrayed as the antagonists, the English colonists provoked the conflict, as explained HERE.

This tale from Treasure Comics #8 (1946) was one of the earliest solo assignments by a young up-and-comer named Frank Frazetta, who went on to become one of the premier adventure/fantasy artists of all time!

Until next time...

KNOW YOUR AMERICA "George Washington"

Ten-Hut!

We travel from the skies over Korea to the forests of colonial Pennsylvania...

 ...for a tale of Colonel George Washington of the Virginia Militia!

This story from the anthology Treasure Comics #9, published in 1946, doesn't get all the facts right.

The French and Indians actually ran into the British and Colonials by accident, not a planned ambush.

However, they reacted faster than the British, and despite being outnumbered, quickly gained the advantage over the British using guerrilla tactics.

Until next time...
