Called 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 writer Gary Reed under the pen name Brent Truax it is the saga of one man thirsting to conquer an empire against a ruler who tried to appease both his subjects and his gods. Hernan 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 in fact, was not the true God, it was 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 was 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 was "discovered", an ambitious man set forth to make his fame and fortune. He sailed his ships to a strange land to embark on his quest and when he arrived, he saw a vast and brutal empire laid out before him. It was an empire with destruction and death as its honor. It was an empire that stretched its tentacles of fear for 100's of miles. It was an empire built upon the foundation of bones laced with the temptation of gold. It was the Aztec Empire and the "Old World" had never seen such a bloodthirsty race. But he was determined to conquer it, by any means necessary and to insure his men would not think of returning to Spain during the campaign, he did the unthinkable. He burned his ships. It was 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 conquer the Aztec nation.
