Biographical series is "dissenting side to the story of our country"

The lives of the great American presidents are about to get a lot more exciting with the news that Harper Collins has signed Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey for a four-book deal to bring their digital comic series Action Presidents to print, beginning in 2017.

Action Presidents, which follows the pair's self-published Action Philosophers series, tells the life stories of a number of U.S. presidents with a somewhat sensational flair. The digital version of the series debuted on the ComiXology platform in Nov. 2013, focusing on George Washington, who is depicted on the cover holding a chainsaw in one hand and an axe in the other, shouting "You're next!" at the viewer.
