Colonial Comics: New England

Some of the creators behind our Comic Book History of Boston volumes also contributed work to the Colonial Comics: New England series edited by Jason Rodriguez and published by Fulcrum Publishing.

The first volume covers the years 1620 to 1750 with stories of the British settlement of what they called New England, the Native peoples’ reactions to these newcomers, and the uneasy creation of a new society in the New World.


The second volume looks at the decades leading up to the Revolutionary War with more stories of discontent printers, displaced Native healers, enslaved men advocating for their liberty, counterfeiters, politicians, and the first shots heard ’round the world.


Look for both volumes in bookstores and online, or click on the cover images above to order direct.
