[Re: Ron's suggestion]
Someone who might fit this bill is Patrick Reynolds. He draws
a comic strip on local history (mostly D.C. area, that I've
seen), which I've read in the _Washington Post_.
He has a website and, apparently, his firm does "for hire"
illustrating work. They recently did a book for the
Pennsylvania Society of Land Surveyors. Perhaps the SHA could
come up with some funds for this? (I have no idea how much it
costs.) See:
http://www.redrosestudio.com
Towards the bottom of the page is a banner that reads "Special
books created for special interests."
Undoubtedly there are other graphic artists out there waiting
for such opportunities. (Also, I just remembered, there was
a flashy comic book publication done for Colonial Williamsburg
a few years ago, "When Virginia Was the Wild West".., or some
such...) Might be a good idea. I'd buy copies for my local
grade schools. :)
