Early morning on Monday, October 9, 2017, wildfires burned through Northern California, resulting in 44 fatalities. In addition, 6,200 homes and 8,900 structures and were destroyed. Author Brian Fies's firsthand account of this tragic event is an honest, unflinching depiction of his personal experiences, including losing his house and every possession he and his wife had that didn't fit into the back of their car. In the days that followed, as the fires continued to burn through the area, Brian hastily pulled together A Fire Story and posted it online--and it immediately went viral. He expanded his original web comic to include environmental insight and the fire stories of his neighbors and others in his community. This paperback version includes 32 new pages that bring the story up-to-date. A Fire Story is a candid testimony of the wildfires that left homes destroyed, families broken, and a community determined to rebuild.

This unique graphic novel follows a young boy and his father from the 1939 New York World's Fair to the final Apollo space mission in 1975. Through the boy's eyes, the story captures an era brimming with optimism and ambition, driven by industry, electricity, rockets, and the atom bomb. Award-winning author Brian Fies explores relationships and the promise of the future in a way that only comics can convey. The narrative is enhanced by the comic adventures of Commander Cap Crater, a character created by Fies to reflect the comic styles of the time. Blending art and historical photographs, this groundbreaking work offers a lively journey through half a century of technological change, while also providing a thoughtful examination of the evolving sentiments of the nation and the enduring hope for what lies ahead. Critics have praised it as a "hopelessly optimistic moon-age daydream" and a "very special book" that resonates on multiple levels, encouraging readers to reflect on Fies’ vision of our past and his aspirations for the future.
