Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this graphic novel, investigate one of America's oldest and most intriguing mysteries.

Over a hundred years before the pilgrims, the very first English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island. But without warning, these colonists abandoned their new home and disappeared without a trace.

What happened to the colonists? To figure it out, we’ll need to investigate how these missing settlers got to Roanoke in the first place, and what the people already living there thought about these strange foreigners. It’s a case filled with brutal battles, perilous pirate ships, ruthless queens, scheming businessmen, and enough skeletons to fill a graveyard.

    I picked this book up at a comic convention last year and met the author, Chris. This book was engaging and made learning about this historical mystery fun. One thing I liked about the book was the fact that the author presented the reader with all the theories and allowed the audience to make their own judgment. I bought this copy for my school's library and can't wait to introduce it to my students.

    “Mystery” aside my son loved tore through the book and loved it!
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021
    My 10/11 year old loves this book and learned so much reading it. As with most graphic novels, she read it multiple times (because there are different levels of reading graph novels. You read the words and you read the pictures rich with details that aren’t expressed in words. I used to be concerned about my child’s graphic novel preference until I did more research and learned there is a lot going on and it isn’t just watered down reading.) I wish there was so much more historical graphic novels of this quality. I would buy every one of them.

    My 9 year old enjoyed this. We read through it together, and a bit at a time. The story is comprehensive so there are a lot of characters, but it does a good job of setting the history in its context: Spanish empire, pirates, Queen Elizabeth, and the native peoples.

    Bought this for a trip to NC. My 8 yo loved it and read it many times. It reminded me of Action Presidents, which he read one once and really enjoyed. My son generally reads the I Survived, Magic Treehouse, Ranger in Time series.
