Book Synopsis
District Comics is a graphic anthology featuring lesser-known stories about Washington, DC, from its earliest days as a rustic settlement along the swampy banks of the Potomac to the modern-day metropolis. Spanning 1794–2009, District Comics stops along the way for a duel, a drink in the Senate’s speakeasy, a look into the punk scene, and much more.

Whether or not you read it in 2012, or plan to read it in 2013, it will most likely end up on your "favorites" list as well." --Katie's Korner: Graphic Novel Reviews for Schools and Libraries "District Comics ... is one of the top graphic titles of the year for use in social studies classes." --School Library Journal Winner of the 2013 Shel Dorf's Original Graphic Novel of the Year Award Winner of the 2012 American Graphic Design Award BEA Editors Pick for 2012 Finalist in the Best Anthology category from The Harvey Awards 2nd Place Winner in the Graphic Novel category for the 2014 SPACE Awards
