Now American history is more fun and easier to access for young readers! For 20 years, Chester the Crab has brought American history alive in a graphic novel format. This reader app will invigorate his storytelling into a living, growing, active set of stories you can purchase and read them on the go. MORE jokes! MORE details that the textbooks miss! MORE new panels to unlock when you visit some of America's most important historic sites! This format promises a more dynamic future for Chester's stories of the important past. This app will be a platform for the ongoing Chester Comix project to: * make available stories from the Chester Comix archive that have not seen print since the early 2000s. * Add extra panels to stories that are in print, to give readers more fun and more facts. * Allow young people to download stories to read them later with or without an internet connection. Digitizing Chester's stories for a mobile platform means more reluctant readers can find his inspiring fun and learn what they need to do well in school. Putting Chester Comix onto a smartphone puts him where young people are already reading their texts and social media. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR -- Bentley Boyd graduated from Harvard University in 1990 with a cum laude degree in History and Literature. He has been a professional cartoonist for 28 years and is a passionate advocate for the use of the graphic novel format to excite reluctant readers about non-fiction material. * ABOUT CHESTER COMIX -- Since 2003 Chester Comix LLC has offered graphic history adventures to young people. Chester currently has 32 titles in print. Sample pages are viewable at www.chestercomix.com, and free teachers guides are available at the website for most of the print titles. * APP FEATURES -- Panel by panel view of the story; a story twice as long as the version that appears in Chester's printed books; secret panels with more story get unlocked when the reader visits related historic sites in the United States.

Both are free to download. Chester Comix sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and 6th Grade Math sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chester Comix holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Chester Comix's written reviews are positive against 67% of 6th Grade Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chester Comix ships an update every 5 months, 6th Grade Math every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
