Sneezyone Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This was one of DSs few requests (his birthday is five days before Christmas). I’ve put the Sapiens Vol. 1/2 in my cart, also Neurocomic. They seem to have good reviews. Can anyone recommend a couple more in the same genre? He’s already covered a lot of U.S. history this way so unusual/uncommon topics are preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Has he read Takei's book? Hawking? Maus might be a bit much depending on age but it is brilliant. Introducing Quantam Theory O'connor's Olympians books. Not actually graphic novels but the Horrible History books can be fun. My kid also liked the Cartoon Guides (Larry Gonick) and the Manga Guides 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kid also liked the Cartoon Guides (Larry Gonick) and the Manga Guides Takei, yes. Maus, yes. Not sure about the Olympians books. Maybe one or two? I will look for the Hawking and quantum theory books. He reads manga for a mental break. Edited November 27, 2021 by Sneezyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I was also going to suggest Larry Gonick.
