Abstract
Howard Zinn's magnum opus, A People's History of the United States, was originally published in 1980 and sales are approaching two million. Surely a major part of its success has been its use by teachers. This book is a "graphic adaptation," but not of Zinn's entire work so much as those portions related to the theme of empire. Those responsible might not be comfortable with the book being called a "comic book" version of Zinn, but essentially that is what we have here. Is there potential for such a book being used by teachers, and thus having Zinn's message reach many more students? Probably so. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing depends on one's point of view.
