The History Teacher
Comics, Cartoons, and Graphic Novels in the History Classroom

The History Teacher offers a number of resources for using cartoons, comic books, graphic novels, and other illustrated sources to teach both historical content and historical thinking. As students become more savvy with non-traditional sources of historical information, we encourage educators to use innovative methods for reaching their students.
