This is a great historical fiction graphic novel series by Chuck Dixon and Gary Kwapisz.

It has an unusual approach to covering America's Civil War. (No they don't call it the War of Northern Aggression). It follows a father son from Northern Virginia as they join the Confederate army and their experiences as they fight the war. Also from time to time there are pages of factoids, as well as vignettes featuring real historical figures like Custer and Stonewall Jackson.

Very readable with great illustrations.


I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the War Between the States, or good war comics in general.

I second Ron's question. This sounds really interesting and I love Chuck Dixon's work.

I looks really great. I grabbed a copy at, I believe, Mid-Ohio-Con (shows kinda run together). I've been meaning to give it a read and review. You can learn more via http://www.historygraphicspress.com/

Okay, I have seen this imprint before. My writing pal, Steve Erwin did a graphic novel for them a few years ago as well. Great company.
