A Day In the Life of a Warrior

From the dawn of time to the present day, soldiers have lived on the frontlines of history. But there’s more to that history than epic battles and infamous warriors.

What was it really like for a soldier living through the Samurai shogunate or the rise of the Ottoman Empire? Beyond the textbook facts and theories, how did it feel to ride into battle with Genghis Khan or trek across England with Viking invaders? In this series, young readers are invited to join a soldier from a famous historical battle for a day in his life. What does he wear? What does he eat? How does he spend his time? What kind of weapons does he carry? How many of the soldiers were women?

Unlike any other book series on the market, 7-to-9-year old budding history buffs can get up close and personal with a soldier and learn all about them, from the serious to the silly and everything in between.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
