Creating Women | Traditional Comics Culture

Описание: [Closed Captioning (CC) available]

For many people, when they hear the word 'comics', they think 'superheroes'. They think of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. And while Marvel and DC Comics have created some artful stories and wonderful characters, comics are not just superheroes. Traditional comics culture (or cultures) consists of a lot more than spandex and capes. We asked our speakers to define traditional comics culture to understand how their work continues or challenges comics precedence.

What do they think when they hear 'traditional comics culture'? Let us know in the comments below. See you next week!
