Description
The creative team behind the Founding Monsters comic book—Maggie Colangelo and Dr. Bernard K. Means—bring you Founding Monsters Tales. Founding Monsters Tales features all-new art by Maggie and explores and expands on themes in Founding Monsters. Meet again Moses Williams, an enslaved servant of the Peale family who not only helped reconstruct the first mastodon skeleton, but was an unheralded artist in his own right. Find out whether mastodons were meat eaters, and how they differed from mammoths. Learn whether Thomas Jefferson was correct in his interpretation of what he called “the great claw.” Discover what Jefferson thought Lewis and Clark would reveal during their explorations of the American west. Uncover why James Madison made measurements of weasels, some quite intimate in nature.

Comments
“Founding Monster Tales includes illustrations and text that compliment Founding Monsters, a comic book written and illustrated by Maggie Colangelo from a story by Dr. Bernard K. Means and Maggie Colangelo. All of the illustrations in Founding Monster Tales are by Maggie Colangelo, who also authored all of the text with the exception of explanatory captions by Dr. Means on pages 4 and 8” (p. 2).
