Thanks you Belgium for the comics, the chocolate, the carbonade and FN Herstal.

I wouldn't blame the schools but the students, no curiosity for history and war in general.

Do you have Buck Dany in the US of Awesomeness? The most American Belgian hero.

because it's an important part of world history maybe? i'm sure he learned about romans so why not learn something about the american civil war? i mean you don't have to learn all the battles and stuff but at least the most important ones plus why it happened and what the result was.

(not the anon you're anwswering to) it may come to you as a shock, but for most part all we know about ACW is 'it happened, north and south states fought, north won'. oh, and whatever Gone with the Wind has shown us.

Important part of world history maybe, but it's not treated THAT much different than any other civil war in history. Hell, things like War of the Roses get way more exposure (and I'm not even a britbong)

not really
it had very little if any international impact, while the roman empire changed european civilization forever and is responsible for the ethnic, religious and linguistic realities od modern europe
the russian-turkish war of 1877-1878 was far more important than the american civil war but i'm pretty sure he didn't have to study much about it

I'll let the thread sink after that, but I highly recommend The Greenhorn and Rumberley if you want to try the Bluecoats, too bad the latest comics aren't translated in English. They fixed the issue they had with the uniforms.

The early adventures are hilarious in hindsight. Straight anti-jap propaganda, but with good art and stories

Pic is Dan Cooper, another bd about a RCAF major.
Sadly, there never was an eurocomic about a mexican air force pilot to complete the trilogy.

Surprisingly accurate in terms of artwork and the realism presented in them. Pretty comically racist too.

The series became later in fact so realistic, especially with exotic planes like the X-15 that some folks in the pentagon asked the authors how they knew so much.

I remember in that album a panel that showed the internals schematics of the X-15, the cockpit layout, the main characteristics and what the hull was made of.
in 1965.
I understand why that would spook some officials.

They gave cavalrymen the infantrymen uniforms, nothing big it just took them 28 volumes to fix it. Compare OP's pic to the watercolour.

A lot of euros do. The UK even has American Civil War reenactments.

(They have to keep their muskets in a police station I've heard.)

Any excuse to practice a fine hobby. As you can imagine there are more popular battles to reenact.

you can literally just go online and order a fully functioning musket with no checks or regulations, so long as you don't get ammo for it. Sounds like a load of shite to me lad.

Well America has done a great job of exporting media. In the same vein, the US has SCA for medieval and other reenactments. None of that ever happened here.
