REVOLUTIONARY WAR COMICS

The Rise of Thomas Sumter comic book series is a 6-volume series geared towards grade level students. They are created to assist in retelling the story of a real American hero in 1780. The series follows Thomas Sumter, a Revolutionary War soldier, as he travels across the South Carolina in a fight for freedom.

Additional volumes include more of the battles/skirmishes/engagements that occurred in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. Among these you will find stories like “Buford’s Quarter”, “Unlikely Heroes", and "A Thorny Thicket".

We’re currently working on our six volume series on The Rise of Francis Marion. The two volumes thus far are “An Army of a Different Kind” and “Blue Fortune”. This series follows Francis Marion in the swamps of South Carolina fighting back against the British invasion.

Each comic book contains:

• Resources to support a deeper dive into American Revolutionary War history
• A map and timeline of American Revolutionary War incidents
• Main characters on both Patriot and British sides
• A Footsteps of Heroes section highlighting someone associated with the story along with several educational resources
