Christopher Columbus & His Expeditions to America zine 56 pages, 1/4 size, copied (3 oz) $2.00

It would require a very smart, dedicated man with a lot of time on his hands to produce a series like this - but J. Gerlach decided to do just that. A series of zines about history the way textbooks never told it; but should have. Unabridged history not edited to be appropriate for the classroom. This issue tackles Christopher Columbus and his "discovery" of America. While there is a lot to tell and the difficulty of a project like this is making sure people don't feel like they are back in a boring classroom, J. does a good job of mixing it up by including increasingly funnier comics from Cindy Crabb along the way that illustrate the story! What were Columbus' true motives? Was he really a lost idiot? How did he treat the people living already in North America? Is it incredibly racist to say that Columbus discovered a land where people already lived? Find out the answers to these and more by reading up on all the things you missed out on the first time around!
