About this listen

Discover the reason comic creators toil away over ink stained pages, even when circumstances don't reward that hard work. This is what happens when comics meet the real world, coming face to face with politics, war, and big business. Witness creators navigate their passion and careers when faced with the intersection between art and commerce.

The Cost of Comics: A History of the Comic Book Labor Movement
Marge Buell and Little Lulu: Women Warriors - America's Early Female Cartoonist Entrepreneur and Her Feminist Creation
Hector Oesterheld: Comics Own Martyr
David Mazzucchelli Walks Away from Superheroic Success for Indie Art
