Absolutely loved this. My only gripe is I wished all of the comics were longer!

This is a mixed bag: some stories are of course stronger than the the others. All are very short.I liked some stories because they were familiar, and some because they were unfamiliar. Of the former, I liked the stories about Sam Bellamy (though too short and superficial), the Great Molasses Flood, Robert Goddard, and the Gardner Heist. Now, Robert Goddard is, of course, associated with *Worcester, MA*, so the term "Boston" in the title of the collection is being used verrrry broadly. There are, of course, a couple of gangster tales, including Whitey Bulger (more of a portrait). Of the unfamiliar stories, the story about the book bound in human skin in the Boston Athaneum is suitably creepy, and the story about William Moulton Marsten has similar undertones; the story about Harry "Bucky" Lew is also well done, and I also liked the story about Pope's Night. Overall the gems outweigh the weaker parts and make this a worthwhile volume.… (mehr)

Contains 35 short comic stories covering the history of Boston from European settlement to the 20th century. Some of the subjects include a haunted tour of the Granary Burial Ground, the Athenaeum's book bound in human skin, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Old Ironsides, the great 1919 Molasses Flood, the Gardner Heist, and the hunt for Whitey Bulger.

The quality of the drawings and writing is uneven, as must be expected in a collection like this.
