Over at Boston 1775, I've just posted some thoughts on Sons of Liberty, a historical-fiction graphic novel scripted by Marshall Poe and drawn by Leland Purvis.I commented on how it fits all too well into the American canon of Revolutionary War fiction, its historical inaccuracy, and Purvis's interesting use of a graphic technique to display the ambiguities of history--in a different comic.
David Elzey noted the first point from a literary perspective in his Sons of Liberty review at at the Excelsior File. Colleen Mondor in Bookslut also noted the story's similarity to Esther Forbes's great Johnny Tremain.
