Graphic History Links and Resources

Graphic History Links and Resources
from "Super Anxiety" (2020)

Thanks for coming to my presentation! Here's some links to my own comics, to other graphic histories and memoirs I mentioned in my talk, and some resources that might be useful for thinking about history and comics might work together in the classroom or in your own work as a historian.

Comics I've Drawn
