One Shot: Real World Events & Comic Books
Manage episode 451882782 series 3256848
In this One Shot episode of Moving Panels, Laramy and Bethany explore the powerful intersection of real-world events and the comic book medium. Building on their recent deep dive into Persepolis, they shift focus to They Called Us Enemy, George Takei’s poignant account of Japanese-American internment during World War II; Maus, Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning depiction of the Holocaust; and March, Congressman John Lewis’s stirring graphic memoir of the Civil Rights Movement. Join us as we examine how these works use the art of comics to illuminate history, inspire change, and connect with readers on a deeply human level.
