Patrick McG asked Gene Luen Yang:

I loved Boxers and Saints, and I recently saw it prominently featured on the bookshelf of a high school history class between Maus and Persepolis. Is there a particular value of Graphic Novels for telling stories in a historical context?

Gene Luen Yang Thank you for reading Boxers & Saints! It's an honor to be shelved next to Maus and Persepolis. Graphic novels can help us picture worlds that are not our own.

And that's what the past is, isn't it? A completely different world with a completely different culture.
