“Four-Fisted Tales brings you animal stories you had no idea you needed! From time immemorial to the Gulf War and beyond, each animal, each story makes you say, What? No way! All brought to vivid life by the artistry of Ben Towle!” —Jeff Smith, writer and illustrator of Bone

“They had no choice and sadly neither did the majority of the men who fought. Despite the battle being a human one we would have known no victory without the support of the animals.” —David Backhouse, designer and sculptor of the Animals In War monument, Park Lane, London

“Four-Fisted Tales is a stellar graphic history whose art is exemplary, capturing action, humor, and poignancy alike.” —Foreword Reviews

“A fun and amazingly informative graphic novel I found hard to put down, Four-Fisted Tales is chock full of fascinating stories about animals that have fought–and died–alongside soldiers throughout history, all complemented beautifully by Ben Towle's classic Roy Crane-esque cartooning.” —Jake Tapper, CNN anchor
