About this title

About the Author:

Bentley Boyd has written and drawn 27 comix to spark an interest in history among young people. His colorful and funny graphic histories often feature his character Chester the Crab, but with "Revolutionary City" he begins an imprint called Choice Comix that will ask readers to weave their way through the major events of American history. This first book in the imprint is based on a popular street threater program in Colonial Williamsburg, where both his sons are costumed interpreters.

Review:

"Dissent is raging once again in these 18th-century streets....The new Revolutionary City program...is engaging visitors in new ways....The costumed characters might be out of the Colonial era, but many of the themes--whether or not to support a war, for instance--have contemporary resonance." --USA Today
