4.0 out of 5 stars
Teaching history with graphic novels,
By
This review is from: Gulf War Journal (Paperback)
I was familiar with Mr. Lomax's work previously (Vietnam Journal) and when I found out this work was available, I wasted no time obtaining it. I was not disappointed. His use of a fictional character ("Journal" Neithammer), mixed with factual events of the first Gulf War in 1991, made the book both compelling and quite readable. One of the problems that some may have is that the graphic novel is presented in black and white, and younger readers may find the comics (like film) as "boring" (I say this as I taught at a design college and the comment always irked me). I disagree. The basic B/W format forces the reader to read the text, as well as follow the story. My only critiques concerned a few minor things (Hussein being spelled a couple of ways, a lance corporal in the Army) but on the whole I enjoyed it.
