Summary: |
Part personal reaction to 9/11 and part history of newspaper comics, this book is a bit like a graphic novel. It is raw in tone and difficult to follow at spots. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Teachers will want to review the text carefully with students in mind. [The second part of the book seems somewhat disjointed from the first. Teachers and students may want to explore this.] The book offers an interesting review and some samples of very early comics in newspapers. The book could be used in a small but growing text set on 9/11 as well as one on graphic novels. |
