With the growing popularity of the graphic format, I think it’s really exciting to see more and more historical settings and stories! As a visual learner, there is something really powerful about seeing history come to life before your eyes, and I think graphic novels accomplish that — a bit like seeing a black and white photo colorized, or watching a digital remaster of a turn of the century video recording. History becomes more tangible and present in our minds, and we see the people of the past in a slightly new light. While historical fiction in the graphic format isn’t nearly as popular as other genres, there are some really great historical graphic novels and comics out there on a wide range of topics, from the Boxer Rebellion to WWII! Here are some titles you shouldn’t miss! Want more great YA graphic novel and comics recommendations? Check out our round up of the best YA fantasy graphic novels and comics.
