Description
Book SynopsisDistrict 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.
