AUSA Presents: The Birth of the U.S. Army: Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of America’s First National Institution

The Association of the United States Army is proud to announce the release of a new graphic novel in honor of the Army’s 250th birthday celebration: The Birth of the U.S. Army.

The U.S. Army was established on June 14, 1775—more than a year before the Declaration of Independence. Under civil authority, militia from separate colonies unified under a new commander to form a national force to fight for independence. The history of the Army is intertwined with the history of America itself.

Script: Chuck Dixon (Batman, The Punisher, The ’Nam) 

Artwork and Cover: Wayne Vansant (The ’Nam, Savage Tales, All Quiet on the Western Front)

Lettering: Troy Peteri (Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men)

The Association of the United States Army celebrates this milestone of American history with its latest graphic novel. This full-color digital book was created by a talented team of professionals drawn from the comic book industry, and the details were vetted by professional historians.
