Crogan’s Vengeance: Sixteen individuals, three centuries, one family. It all starts here! CROGAN’S VENGEANCE, the first in an ongoing series of adventure graphic novels spanning continents and centuries as cartoonist Chris Schweizer climbs through the various branches of the Crogan clan’s family tree! Volume one of THE CROGAN ADVENTURES series introduces us to “Catfoot” Crogan, an honest sailor who finds himself thrust into a life of piracy! Crogan never wanted to be a pirate and he never dreamed he’d wind up at odds with the most dangerous buccaneer ever to sail the Spanish Main! But there’s more to this fight for “Catfoot” than just staying alive, there’s also CROGAN’S VENGEANCE!
Crogan’s March: Legionnaire Peter Crogan has some hard questions to answer. Should he finish out his 5-year term of service with the French Foreign Legion, or become an officer for life? There’s not much time to consider his options as the armies of the Tuaregs arrive. And just when Crogan thinks there’s only the relentless heat still to overcome, the rag-tag group of hardened fighters are trapped in a cave by a terrible creature with a taste for human flesh!
Crogan’s Loyalty: Brothers William and Charles may share their parentage but their perspectives couldn’t be more different. Charles emerged from his education as unrest in the American Colonies started to hit a tipping point and he has kept his allegiance with the Crown. William, on the other hand, has taken up the plight of the Minutemen and other revolutionaries. When the two are thrust back together, they have to determine which loyalty comes first, the one to their fellow soldiers or the one to their family? Return to the adventure-prone exploits of Chris Schweizer’s fictional family with this new epic volume in the critically acclaimed Crogan Adventures series.
