Meet the dudes who made history happen. With its quirky, fun artwork, History Dudes presents the past in a way that is both irreverent and informative. In each book, the reader is guided on a journey through a key event, theme, or period in world history, with explanatory reference spreads, comic strips, and interviews with historical dudes along the way.
Roaring in from Scandinavia to burn, pillage and generally cause a whole heap of trouble, the Vikings terrorized Europe for hundreds of years. But they weren't all bad: Viking dudes were superb seafarers, played football, got to America way before Columbus and didn't wear horns in their helmets.
'Viking Dudes' features an interview with explorer Leif Erikson, joins a band of Viking berserkers as they prepare for battle, and includes a blueprint of a Viking longship. Read interviews and profiles of Bjorn the Beserk and Harald the Shaggy (who refused to cut his hair), let a Viking woman show you round her tastefully decorated longhouse and come face to face with the fearsome snake killer, Ragnar Hairy Breeks.
Throughout the series, the imaginative artworks are full of humorous details that will engage and amuse time and time again. History Dudes is about making history fun. Illustrated by Rich Cando, creator of the world famous 'Star Dudes'.
