Goodreads
I picked this up thinking it would be graphic novel about the constitution but it isn’t; it’s a graphic novel of the constitution. Famous comic characters (Scooby-Doo, Dennis the Menace, Calvin and Hobbs, etc.) are used to illustrate the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the additional amendments. The result is fun, but for the most part, the characters used are ones Gen-Xers and older would recognize, although it does have pages in the style of Dog-Man, Adventure Time and Saga. It would still be useful for a classroom and might be enjoyed by anyone into vintage comics.
