读过 History Comics: The Roanoke Colony 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
我很喜欢读 First Second 出的一系列非虚构漫画，尤其是 History Comics 这个系列，在这样有所准备的背景下我还是被这本讲述大航海时代美洲移民期间发生的一件悬案的作品惊艳到了。Chris Schweizer 翔实的历史考证和出色的绘画能力（他的画面甚至让我想起和 Dave Steward 合作的 Guy Davis 和 Duncan Fegredo 来）让人看得爱不释手，而故事也是讲出历史该有的鲜活样子，里面我看到了印第安人的群居生活，伊丽莎白一世如何兼顾治国和调情，贪婪的殖民者和某些因绥靖而带来杀身之祸的族长，既学到许多眼睛又受到审美的熏陶，赚到了。

Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this graphic novel, investigate one of America's oldest and most intriguing mysteries.
Over a hundred years before the pilgrims, the very first English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island. But without warning, these colonists abandoned their new home and disappeared without a trace.
What happened to the colonists? To figure it out, we’ll need to investigate how these missing settlers got to Roanoke in the first place, and what the people already living there thought about these strange foreigners. It’s a case filled with brutal battles, perilous pirate ships, ruthless queens, scheming businessmen, and enough skeletons to fill a graveyard.
