a question by Sep 23, 2011
I recently read the book "Gettysburg: The Graphic Novel" and was impressed by the subdued tones of the presentation, the lack of graphic gore and the general historical accuracy. It is a book that could be used as a primer on the battle in history classes. Does anybody know of any other graphic novels that could be used to teach students history or any other subject?

Haven't heard of this book but I do have O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln on hold at my local library. You may want to check that one out as I hear it is pretty good.

I read a Free Comic Book Day version of that, it was well done. I know of Classics Illustrated but they are usually adaptations of classic stories. I know Marvel Comics did a classics line, actually two. One was an adaptation written by Roy Thomas of the Dorian Gray story and another comics series that attempted the same as Classics. A guy on Amazon made an interesting list too: http://www.amazon.com/Historical-Graphic-Novels/lm/R1XZF2TFVGIMXZ I bet if you look at the publisher's website of the Gettysburg story that you'll see more of that type of graphic novel. Looks very interesting.
