In this episode, Maurice will give you an insight to a medium, which is quite underestimated in its potential to transport political opinions: superhero comic books. He discusses the use of comics during World War 2, the introduction of new superheroes in the Cold War era and their meaning for today’s society. You will understand that comic books are much more than entertaining drawings with text bubbles when analysing them critically. If you want to dive deeper in the historical approach towards comics, have a look at Ivan Jablonka’s article or check out my bibliography below.
