A graphic novel biography of the American legend who inspired the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.
Alexander Hamilton was one of the most influential figures in United States history—he fought in the Revolutionary War, helped develop the Constitution, and as the first Secretary of the Treasury established landmark economic policy that we still use today. Cut down by a bullet from political rival Aaron Burr, Hamilton has since been immortalized alongside other Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson—his likeness even appears on the ten-dollar bill. In this fully-illustrated and impeccably researched graphic novel-style history, author Jonathan Hennessey and comic book illustrator Justin Greenwood bring Alexander Hamilton’s world to life, telling the story of this improbable hero who helped shape the United States of America.

"Yo, yo, yo, check out this book
It’s amazing and cool and has a baller look.

Have your mind blown by Hennessey / Greenwood.
This ain’t no U.S. propaganda
It’s the best Hamilton since L.M. Miranda."
—Marc Guggenheim, co-creator of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, screenwriter, producer, and comic book writer
"Cramming an entire life into a single graphic novel—especially a life as full as Hamilton's—is no mean feat, but Hennessey is up to the task. Greenwood's engaging art, aided by Simpson's color, brings the pages to life with a vibrant energy."
—Antony Johnston, writer of Atomic Blonde, The Fuse, and Julius
"This book needs to be in schools and on your shelves. Hennessey knows his Hamilton history and Greenwood’s art has a pulse that makes the founder's story as compelling for comics as it is for great theatre."
