Optimism of Youth
'Optimism of Youth' collects 14 of Jackson's (a.k.a. "Jaxon") short comix tales from the early 1970s underground comics scene. These comics originally appeared in title such as Skull, Slow Death, Grim Wit and Tales of the Leather Nun. Jackson was there at the birth of the underground comix scene and had actually self-published a collection of his college comics strips as God Nose in 1964, before taking a hiatus from cartooning, diving back in with the stories that fill this collection

Comic Books as History
This first full-length scholarly study of comic books as a narrative form attempts to explain why comic books, traditionally considered to be juvenile trash literature, have in the 1980s been used by serious artists to tell realistic stories for adults
God's Bosom and Other Stories
"Currently termed a "Graphic Novel" this book is a compilation of Jackson's former works, fully illustrated in pen and ink. Oddly enough half of the work deals with early Texas history, "Old Tejas," and the second part is set in contemporary settings, titled " Modern Times." It is nonetheless, a good example of the art, artistry, and genius of the author. Seven of the stories are Texas history and nine are set in moderm times."--Borderland Books
Jack Jackson's American History
Los Tejanos is the story of the Texas-Mexican conflict between 1835 and 1875 as seen through the eyes of tejano (literally Texan of Mexican, as distinct from anglo, heritage) Juan Seguín. It is through Seguín, a pivotal and tragic figure, that Jackson humanizes Texas’ fight for independence and provides a human scale for this vast and complex story. Lost Cause documents the violent reaction to Reconstruction by Texans. As Jackson wrote, “Texas reaped a bitter harvest from the War Between the States. Part of this dark legacy was the great unrest that plagued the beaten but unbowed populace.” The tensions caused by Reconstruction are told through the Taylor-Sutton feud, which raged across South Texas, embracing two generations and causing untold grief, and the gunslinger John Wesley Hardin, who swept across Texas killing Carpetbaggers, Federal soldiers, and Indians.

The Pillars of the Earth
