Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography by Chester Brown

4.0

If you've ever wondered what a just-the-facts, fully sourced biography of a Candian frontiersman would like if drawn by someone influenced by early 20th century newspaper comics then look no further.

While a bit dry, it's an easy read and the art itself is very well done. I had little to no knowledge of Louis Riel or the conflicts in Wester Canada thanks to my "World History begins with the Pilgrims and ends wit World War II" midwestern schooling, so it was also a fun educational read.
