  Comic Book Punks - How a...

  The influence of the comic book has never been greater, from movies to streaming and beyond, but the journey comics took from little-regarded kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises turned on a highly unusual group of writers and artists. Few would have expected a small gathering of British comic book fans and creators in the early 'seventies to be a global cultural pivot-point, but this was the start of a disparate movement of punks, dropouts, and disaffected youths who reinvented a medium and became the imaginative heart of a global success story. 
   
   
   
  Based on years of interviews with a generation of leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped, hindered, and saw the reinvention of comics. 
   
   
   
  Stock brilliantly tells the story of the triumphs and disasters that rewrote the rulebook on what comics could be and who they should be for.

  The Civil Rights Act - America...

  The history of civil rights in America is deeply intertwined with the nation’s founding principles, yet it is also defined by contradictions that stem from its treatment of African Americans. Slavery, which was institutionalized from the country’s early days, placed millions of African people in bondage and marked the beginning of a long struggle for racial equality. Enslaved individuals were considered property rather than people, denied basic human rights, and subjected to a life of forced labor and brutality. This practice was vital to the economic growth of the southern states, where plantations relied on enslaved labor to produce cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. The dehumanizing nature of slavery created an enduring racial hierarchy that persisted even after its formal abolition. 
  The end of the Civil War in 1865, with the passage of the 13th Amendment, theoretically liberated enslaved people. However, the promise of freedom was not immediately realized, as the southern states passed a series of laws known as Black Codes. These laws sought to maintain white dominance by severely limiting the rights and freedoms of African Americans. The Black Codes restricted mobility, employment opportunities, and legal protections, pushing many freedmen and women back into forced labor through sharecropping arrangements that mirrored slavery in many ways. Despite these setbacks, African Americans began to organize, laying the groundwork for future civil rights movements.

  The Battle of Tours - Defending...

  The Umayyad Caliphate emerged as one of the most powerful empires in the early Islamic world, expanding its influence across vast territories from the Middle East to North Africa and into Europe. Following the death of Prophet Muhammad, the Islamic world underwent a rapid transformation, with the Rashidun Caliphs overseeing the initial expansion. However, it was under the Umayyads, beginning in 661 CE, that the Islamic empire reached unprecedented heights, establishing a vast and organized dominion. Their rule was characterized by military conquests, administrative advancements, and cultural integration, making them a formidable force in the medieval world. 
  One of the most defining aspects of Umayyad expansion was its push into Western Europe. After successfully conquering the Iberian Peninsula in 711 CE, the Muslim forces, primarily composed of Berbers and Arabs, established Al-Andalus under the leadership of governors appointed by the Umayyad Caliphate. The conquest of the Visigothic Kingdom was swift, with key victories such as the Battle of Guadalete opening the doors for further advances northward. By the early 8th century, the Umayyads had consolidated control over much of present-day Spain and Portugal, making their presence in Europe a significant political and military reality. 
  As the Umayyads strengthened their hold over Iberia, their attention turned toward the Frankish territories. The Islamic forces, seeking to expand their influence beyond the Pyrenees, launched several incursions into the southern regions of Gaul. These raids, initially aimed at securing wealth and resources, gradually evolved into more ambitious campaigns of territorial expansion. The city of Narbonne fell under Muslim control in 719 CE, serving as a critical stronghold for future campaigns. From there, the Umayyads pushed further into Aquitaine, where they encountered resistance from the local Christian rulers, most notably Duke Odo of Aquitaine.
