The Cartoon History of the Modern World #1

This volume collects the first portion of Larry Gonick's ambitious graphic survey of world history, covering the period from Columbus's voyages through the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. It continues the author's trademark blend of humor and scholarship, presenting key events, figures, and cultural shifts in a sequential art format. Originally published as part of the broader Cartoon History of the Modern World series, this edition gathers the early chapters of that narrative into a single paperback collection.
