The Kids Talk Give Me Liberty PART TWO

from Kirby's Kids · host Kirby's Kids

Happy 250TH Birthday America! Angus concludes our Star Spangled Banner Spectacular Celebration with Give Me Liberty! A Revised History of the American Revolution by Gilbert Shelton and Ted Richards.PART TWO: Give Me Liberty! A Revised History of the American Revolution⁠https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Revised-History-American-Revolution-ebook/dp/B0DPJCQTB3/⁠Fifty years ago, underground cartoonists Gilbert Shelton (ZAP Comix, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers) and Ted Richards (Air Pirates, The Forty Year Old Hippie) combined their talents to create a more-or-less accurate summary of the founding of the United States of America as it was never taught in school! With Shelton's degree in history, Richards' experience as an army brat turned Air Force enlistee, and their combined skills at both slapstick and satire, they crafted "A Revised History Of The American Revolution," combining high strategic points with the perspective of regular grunts and citizens.Give Me Liberty! was originally serialized in alternative newspapers through 1975-76 and now, for only the second time in 250 years, Fantagraphics Underground brings this lost classic back to print. Printed at close to original tabloid size and packed with a wealth of incredibly rare additional material, this is an early contender for best archival comics release of 2025.Please join us for our Dark Horse Comics Month Reads:DARK HORSE COMICS MONTH - Hellboy Omnibus Volume 2: Strange Places⁠https://www.amazon.com/Hellboy-Omnibus-Strange-Places-ebook/dp/B07BJLL89Y/⁠_________________________________DARK HORSE COMICS MONTH - Aliens: The Original Years Omnibus Vol. 1⁠https://www.amazon.com/Aliens-Original-Years-Omnibus-Vol-ebook/dp/B0B1S4TWR7/⁠Leave a message at [email protected] join us for our 2026 Graphic Novel Reads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.kirbyskids.com/2025/11/the-kids-talk-2026-kirbys-kids-graphic.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For detailed show notes and past episodes please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kirbyskids.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
