Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls

Anyone interested in history is sure to be riveted by the story of Robert Smalls,  a little-known enslaved African-American sailor who became a true Civil War hero.

Over the course of 4 chapters and 128 pages screenwriter Rob Edwards and a bevy Marvel and DC Comics artists bring this inspiring piece of American history to the attention of today’s audiences.  

Their collective storytelling is framed through a generational lens featuring Robert Smalls himself as the narrator of his heroic story.  The narrative will appeal to history lovers of all ages, fans of the Sixth Gun series, and comic fans reading at middle school levels and above. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
