Action Presidents #1

A powerhouse George Washington — powdered wig, gold-epauletted military coat, and a clenched fist ready for action — dominates the cover of this 2018 HarperCollins opener to the *Action Presidents* series, rendered in Ryan Dunlavey's bold, energetic style. Writer Fred Van Lente and artist Dunlavey promise "Real History! Fake Jokes!" in telling the life of the first president, making this a genuinely fun entry point for readers of any age who want their civics lessons with a little swagger. It's history class reimagined as something you'd actually want to read.
