Today in Comics History, March 6, 1836, The Alamo: Oh yeah? Remember this, pal!

Today in comics (and real) history: after a 13-day siege from Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the crossroads town of San Antonio de Bexar finally fell to the Mexican army, along with the Alamo. 189 Texan defenders were killed, including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. Thus this day went down in history as a rallying reminder that we must "Remember the Alamo."

Thankfully, comic books won't let us forget. Today, all day, I'm gonna post exceprts from comic books that...ahem...remember the event. You have been warned: there are a lot of 'em. First up:


from "Veronica in Texas" in Veronica (1989 series) #17 (Archie, October 1991), script by Bill Golliher, pencils by Dan Parent, inks by Hy Eisman, colors by Barry Grossman, letters by Bill Yoshida
Just so's you know: most of the Alamo comics I post after this one will not feature Cheryl Blossom.
