The Armed Garden And Other Stories by David B., 112 pages. Beautifully drawn and produced, this out-of-print hardcover from Fantagraphics must've been a limited release because copies sell from $60 to $340. Some people are selling copies just in "good" condition for over $100.
I'm pricing mine lower in order to sell. My copy is close to like new. Just a little wear at the fold of the front flap and a tiny flaw on the back of the jacket.

From the publish...er:
David B. gives full rein to his fascination with history, magic, and gods, not to mention grand battles, in this literate, witty, and absorbing collection of short comics — all based on historical fact, or at least historical legend. In The Armed Garden and Other Stories, a lowly Persian fabric dyer becomes a prophet and great leader — and within a year his followers have defeated seven armies sent to stop him! Adam and Eve visit a humble Prague blacksmith, and his (and his followers’) search for Paradise soon leads to bloodshed. In “The Drum Who Fell in Love, ” a sequel of sorts, the blacksmith’s opposition, John Zizka, has been skinned by his people and his skin stripped onto a drum, and the drum, speaking in his voice, leads his people into battle, anew.
