Robert Jordan was born in 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina.

He is a graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army; among his decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. A history buff, he has also written dance and theater criticism and enjoyed the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.

Table of Contents

“There is plenty to like in this comic.  Fans can revel in the careful realizations of familiar characters.  Newcomers can delight in high quality, evocatively colored art, including numerous two-page spreads.  The story feels like it was intended for the comic book medium . . . due in no small way to Chuck Dixon’s hand in this.  Top flight.”
