Do You Love Comic Books? Special Event Coming to Rochester, New Hampshire

Comic Book Lovers Rejoice, Event Coming to Rochester

The first New Hampshire Humanities event of 2021 will be presented by the Friends of the Rochester Public Library virtually this year entitled “Comics in World History and Cultures,” according to city officials.

I’m not much of a reader but my wife is a bookworm.  All my kids are readers and my wife credits comic books to my oldest son’s passion for reading.  She says, “any reading is reading, comic book or history book.”

History and the Comic Book

If you think comic books are just about whether you are a DC comic fan or Marvel fan you have so much to learn.  According to city officials, this event will take you back to ancient Rome, medieval Europe, feudal Japan, and even Nazi Germany to show you how influential comic books have been over the years and just how far back their history goes.
