In 2018 we plan to reprint A Comic Book
History of Boston for the first time and to issue an all-new collection
of more stories from greater Boston’s past. Look for these
books in the fall!

Praise for A Comic Book History of Boston:
“This unconventional account of our
city’s history brings a diverse cast of Bostonians to life: sports
heroes and serial killers; pirates and punk rockers; founding fathers
and favorite sons. An unexpected and delightful assortment of Boston
lore!” —Jane Clayson, host of WBUR’s Radio Boston
“The coolest history book of the
year. Dozens of artists chose stories from the last three centuries
of local history, and they’re compiled together for some
easy-reading history.” —Cheap Thrills Boston
“If only your 12th-grade American
history book was like…A Comic Book History of Boston, a
graphic anthology of memorable events dating from the 1600s to the
present” —Sarah Phelan, Beverly Citizen
“A legitimate history book, but
presented with comics. . . . It provides a new way of looking at the
history of one of the oldest cities in the country.” —Shelly
Barclay, “Best Books About Boston,” CBS Boston
“The idiosyncratic nature of the
project regarding matters both of widespread interest and Hub-centric
fascination is unmistakable and no small hoot.” —Rich Kreiner,
The Comics Journal
“It manages to avoid the most common
pitfalls of anthology style books; it not only achieves a high level
of quality, but is miraculously able to sustain it throughout the
project for the most part. . . . this is probably one of the best
anthology books I’ve ever read.” —Justin Giampaoli, Thirteen
Minutes
“A standout comic” —Boston Magazine
