Civil War Adventure: Book Two

'Civil War Adventure: Book Two' by Chuck Dixon and Gary Kwapisz continues the series of illustrated real life and fictional accounts of the civil war.

The book starts with a map of America in 1860. Then there is a timeline of the war with the stories put in the timeline when they take place. We meet a soldier so dedicated to his cannon that he has named it, but that may be his undoing. We get more of the continuing adventures of Ty and Seth, a couple of Union soldiers under Stonewall Jackson. Brigadier General Custer faces off against John Singleton Mosby, aka the Gray Ghost. There are more stories too.

The art is in black and white, but it fits really well. I also like the mix of true stories with ones written by the authors. The mix also gives it a nice anthology feel, with different types of stories and moods. I enjoyed the first volume and this one was just as good.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Excerpt from Review: "...Over all, I found the Civil War Adventure: Book Two to be an excellent read – both entertaining and enlightening. I would recommend it to any fan of the Civil War, but would also go as far as recommending it to schools as a fun way to get students interested in the history of the United States..."

I didn't read the first book in this comic series, but i was still pretty easily able to follow what happened in this one.. The illustrations were good and well thought out. The story line was a good read. It was a bit gory at parts, but its a war novel/story, that's to be expected. I just wouldn't say this is for kids. Overall I would recommend this book and gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
