Ronald Reagan: A Graphic Biography
Over at Slate, there’s a full-length graphic novel about the life of America’s 40th president, written by Andrew Helfer and drawn by Steve Buccellato and Joe Staton. While I generally don’t like reading lengthy texts online, I had no problem with this format, and read it eagerly. It’s extremely informative and well done, and answers a lot of questions I had about Reagan’s life and legacy. Far more interesting than I expected.

Great idea. The people who think Reagan was a great president probably could not read an entire paragraph let alone a book.
I remember Reagan when he was governor of California. What a taste of the things to come. Stubborn. Bigoted. Intractable. Insensitive to the suffering of the poor and disabled. All the fine traits he brought with him to the White House.
