"Half-Hour Comic World History" Author: Chen Lei (pen name: Erhunzi) / Erhunzi Publisher: Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House

Reading the comics for half an hour can give you a glimpse into 5,000 years of history. The context is so clear that you can recite it backwards after reading it.

Only through hand-drawings and jokes, Erhunzi has sorted out a clear historical context: the extremely concise European history that is so simple that it is frustrating, the trilogy of Once Upon a Time in America, the Japanese history that can be read in one breath, the muscular Spartan 300 warriors, the extremely cool Pirates of the Caribbean... uncovering the complex historical appearance and omitting insignificant details, there are historical jokes on every page, making you laugh every three seconds, and the historical figures hand-drawn by Erhunzi are both mean and cute: Alexander, Caesar, Octavian, Constantine, Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Washington, Lincoln, Napoleon, Emperor Meiji, all of them are just like you and me, with advantages and disadvantages, friends and enemies, and the amazing energy they burst out at key historical junctures has forged five thousand years of wonderful world history.

While you are laughing so hard that your abs are showing, you have unknowingly learned about history.
