The War That Nobody Won is the story of a Native American warrior’s last moments as he staggers wounded away from the little known Battle of the Thames on the U.S./Canadian border. The overall course of the battle—and the course of the frontier war—flash before the wounded warrior’s mind’s eye as he flees the dreaded Kentucky Long Knives. For those that don’t know, the battle of the Thames was another stellar showing for the often wretchedly led British army.

General ‘Forked Tongue’ Proctor was sharing command of the Anglo-Indian allied force with Tecumseh of the Shawnees, facing a good American force with many frontiersmen who had adopted the Indian way of war. At the crucial moment, just before the telling clash of men, General Proctor led the British in a wild rout, running for their wig-wearing lives, as Tecumseh stood and died with his men. This battle condenses 200 years of American history in one bloody tragedy. It was an excellent selection for the authors’ comic. The authors do not dehumanize the natives as many films of the era did. Nor do they dehumanize the white men, as many films of our own era do. Really, it is a remarkably balanced treatment.
