Description
Witch Hunts: A Graphic History of the Burning Times explores three centuries of persecution and execution in Europe. From the devastating impact of the Black Death to the rise of reason and science during the Enlightenment, this graphic novel delves into the methods used by infamous witch hunters like Heinrich Kramer and Matthew Hopkins. The book examines the Salem Witch Trials and the last executions in Europe, shedding light on those who protested against such injustices. Through a combination of historical research and engaging visuals, Rocky Wood and Lisa Morton bring to life a dark period in human history. By uncovering the truth behind these events, Witch Hunts offers a thought-provoking look at how fear and superstition were gradually replaced by reason and science.
