GIVE ME LIBERTY! A Revised History of The American Revolution

From the creator of The Freak Brothers, Gilbert Shelton! Fiftieth Anniversary Edition. The true history of the American Revolution as it was never taught in school! Two titans of underground comix team up to retell the essential moments of the war against the British -- as it might have seemed to the ordinary people of the time. Gilbert Shelton and Ted Richards (Air Pirates Funnies, The Forty Year Old Hippie) combined their cartooning talents to create an episodic, comedic, and more-or-less accurate summary of the founding of the United States of America. Benedict Arnold pulls a fast one -- Betsy Ross sews a flag (or does she?) -- Thomas Jefferson makes a desk -- Old General Dan Morgan gives Cornwallis the slip -- Christmas timing enhanced by a Hessian hangover -- Jefferson makes the Declaration of Independence deadline...just barely! Now, for only the second time in 250 years, Fantagraphics Underground brings this lost classic back to print. Attractive oversized production with a mess of bonus material.
