It is essentially a complete and up&ndash;to&ndash;date course in college level Modern World History, but presented as a graphic novel. In an engaging and humorous graphic style, Larry Gonick covers the history, personalities and big topics that have shaped our universe over the past five centuries, including the Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the evolution of political, social, economic, and scientific thought, Communism, Fascism, Nazism, the Cold War, Globalization&ndash;&ndash;and much more. </P><P> Volume I of the Cartoon History of the Modern World picks up from Gonick's award winning Cartoon History of the Universe Series. That series began with the Big Bang and ended with Christopher Columbus sailing for the New World. This book starts off with peoples that Columbus "discovered" and ends with the U.S. Revolution.</P> 64700 2006 The Cartoon History of the Modern World Part 1: From Columbus to the U.S. Constitution total:196|5:70|4:81|3:41|2:3|1:1| 196 804 275 32 4 0 false false Fri Sep 14 20:34:55 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 14 21:07:22 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 13 20:27:30 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 20:44:54 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun May 11 06:02:06 -0700 2008 Sun May 11 06:12:21 -0700 2008

I didn't find this as much fun as the Cartoon History of the Universe trilogy... despite the fact that it picks up where the previous series left off... I think it tried to fit too much in too few pages.

Sebetulnya mau ngasih 2 bintang aja buat versi indonesianya... karena to be honest the translations suck. mungkin memang supaya yang baca nggak bosen ato gimana gitu. tapi masa' komik penting begini terjemahannya sejurus dengan Asterix&Obelix atau Komik Donal Bebek?
