One of the things I loved talking about with @stevesheinkin is how MIND VS MACHINE: THE CHESS MATCH THAT CHANGED THE WORLD uses the graphic novel format to bring history to life. ♟️

Illustrated novels (comic books & graphic novel) can reach readers who might not otherwise pick up a traditional history book, while still giving readers plenty of interesting facts and trivia to dig into. That’s the beauty of graphic novels, they make history approachable, visual, and engaging for a whole new audience.

I had a great conversation with Steve about storytelling, history, and getting more people excited about reading. Be sure to check out the full interview on the E Train Talks Youtube Channel or at: https://youtu.be/mSmykZt9RMg?is=A6DjEJCH7Xpwr20G
