Author Q&A What sets History Comics apart from Science Comics? Was there a difference in how you approached them? It was essential to find diverse creators who could speak passionately and, in some cases, personally about the subject matter. With History Comics there is a greater opportunity to not only teach by way of explaining but also through empathy. A powerful true story can pull readers in and help them to understand not only WHAT people did and WHEN but more importantly WHY. These books ask readers to imagine what it must have been like to live these lives and truly be present in these world-shaking moments. Theres no strict format, so the creators have a lot of freedom with how they decide to tackle the material. History Comics is often pushing the boundaries of what can be categorized as non-fiction!

Engaging with our history is essential to helping us break the cycles of oppression and fear. Read more
