I'm no Howard Zinn.
And this amounts to shameless self-promotion, but here goes. If you've got children, students, relatives, or friends in grades 4 to 6, you might be interested in buying a new book I've co-authored, American History Comic Books. It's 12 mini comic books with a zany time traveler visiting key moments in U.S. history, with background notes, review quizzes, related weblinks, and a biographical glossary. Stay Free-friendly topics include the immigrant experience, women's suffrage, and even a negative panel about Henry Ford. My fellow writer is Joe D'Agnese, who also co-authored this terrific book. Illustrations are by the wonderful Mark Zingarelli, whose work you may recognize from the 2005 WFMU Marathon t-shirt. Thanks for your time.

something similar (competition!) - history graphic novels - but always good to propagate educational materials, no? =)

i recently discovered a series of REBELS / TERRORIST books directed at junior high skool level kids. i picked up the TUPAC AMURI (sp?) one - i wonder which skools use em. i wonder if they're historically accurate.
