Civil War Adventure
from History Graphics Press
History Graphics Press presents a new line of graphic novels that bring the past to life with exciting stories fully illustrated by top talents in comics storytelling.
Civil War Adventures is only the first in a line of volumes dedicated to America’s bloodiest conflict and defining hour. Each book will bring you stories of the men and women on both sides of the conflict and draw you into their world through dramatic stories of courage, sacrifice, tragedy and even comedy. The epic scale of the War Between the States is fully realized on page after page of sumptuously rendered sequential illustrations from some of the very best artists in the field.
Meticulously researched and supplemented with text material, maps and period pictures, these books provide a wealth of instruction and insight as well as hours of engaging entertainment. You’ll join the 5th Virginia as it marches toward its first conflict at Bull Run. You’ll ride along with George Custer as his fabled cavalry faces impossible odds. You’ll be a passenger on an armed riverboat as it drifts into range of waiting batteries along the Mississippi. These stories are designed to make real the everyday experiences of men and women caught up in the war that decided the fate of our nation.
For the Civil War novice or aficionado, these detailed stories bring you into the action and allow you to view the events in a new and exciting way. History Graphics Press is looking forward to future volumes that will explore the Civil War and many other aspects of American history in a way that is as thrilling as it is educational.
"Uncovering the voices of those who suffered, survived and even triumphed over the darkest period of the United States, this important graphic novel series is a welcome addition to schools, libraries, and your own bookshelf. Hands, down, Dixon and Kwapisz' "Civil War Adventure" is most entertaining "history lesson" I've ever had!"
"What stories! They vary from little five-pagers to a mini-epic by Chuck that covers the first battle of the Civil War from the point of view of a lowly secessionist volunteer. I should have ordered two so that I could donate one to my local library. This book is clearly designed to sit on a library shelf."
"Chuck Dixon and Gary Kwapisz put you in the firing line at Manassas alongside Stonewall Jackson and place you at the campfires of Lincoln's army. The stories are briskly told but filled with detail and an emphasis on action. Civil War buffs and comic fans will find a lot to enjoy here."
"An exciting new book, that will entertain Civil War buffs and provide an excellent introduction to the often confusing world of the American Civil War for new readers!"
"This is the kind of book that once you are done with, you have a better understanding about the war and the impact it made on a lot of people from that time period, and at the same time it's never preachy… because its two authors totally understand that it's a piece of entertainment."
