Booklist Review of Deadly Expeditions

Not every journey is smooth sailing, as evidenced in the stories shared in the Deadly Expeditions series (4 new titles). These narrative nonfiction graphic novels, each with a different artist, take advantage of the visual format to share accounts of difficult adventures in history. They reference historical materials like diaries, photos, and records to help piece together each journey’s pitfalls, which are often weather-related. The Greely Expedition’s Fatal Quest for Farthest North shares the struggles of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition, led by U.S. Army Lieutenant Adolphus Greely, just 600 miles from the North Pole. Each work concludes with further details of each expedition, a map charting its course, a glossary, and supplemental resources.
