A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection "These biographical comics are entertaining overviews that disrupt Wild West mythology."--The New York Times "Highly recommended for all collections."--Booklist STARRED REVIEW "[Smith] manages to capture the humanity of each subject, while giving the entire book the 'hero' vibe promised in the title."--Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast by Julie Danielson "Smith is an exceptional storyteller and you'll be pulled into the stories immediately."--Imagination Soup "The racial and cultural diversity of the Old West gets the comic-book treatment in Smith's exploration of the lives and adventures of three Black historical figures...It's about time."--Kirkus Reviews "Really brings the sizzle"--School Library Journal "Witty punch lines and comic strip-style illustrations...with an emphasis on biographical details and the landscape."--Publishers Weekly "The inclusion of photographs as endpapers and chapter openings reinforces that these are real people behind these almost unbelievable tales. They provide valuable evidence that grounds the extraordinary events, as well as showing how many more stories were out there."--Good Comics for Kids, School Library Journal
