Description

Referred to as by the Los Angeles Reader, the finest example of graphic story telling they’ve seen, Cortez and the Fall of the Aztecs is a fascinating look at an empire just waiting to be devoured. Written by award winning comic creator Gary Reed under the pen name Brent Truax it’s the saga of one man thirsting to overcome an empire against a ruler who tried to appease both his subjects and his gods.

Cortez had unwittingly and unknowingly, stepped into the path of the returning God, Queztalcoatl. His arrival had been foretold for generations by the superstitious Aztecs and by the time they had discovered he if truth be told, used to be not the true God, it used to be too late. For Cortez had on his side, the belief in the three things at the time that mattered most in life….The King….God…and Gold. It used to be the old world against the new. One Christian God against dozens of deities. But Cortez had more than Jesus on his side, he had an unseen organism that swept through the land and decimated more of the Aztecs than any army ever could…smallpox. Soon after the New World used to be “discovered”, an ambitious man set forth to make his fame and fortune. He sailed his ships to a bizarre land to embark on his quest and when he arrived, he saw a vast and brutal empire laid out before him. It used to be an empire with destruction and death as its honor. It used to be an empire that stretched its tentacles of fear for 100’s of miles. It used to be an empire built upon the foundation of bones laced with the temptation of gold. It used to be the Aztec Empire and the “Old World” had never seen one of these bloodthirsty race. But he used to be decided to overcome it, by any means necessary and to insure his men would not think of returning to Spain all the way through the campaign, he did the unthinkable. He burned his ships. It used to be now either conquer…or die. And Cortez with his 400 men set out to vanquish an empire that numbered over a million. This is the true story of the Spanish Conquistador Cortez and his quest to overcome the Aztec nation.
