About this listen

Before superheroes flew across movie screens, comic books were already shaking the foundations of society. In this episode, we crack open the panels of history to reveal the bold, subversive roots of the comic book industry—where capes and speech bubbles met protest and propaganda.

Join us as we explore how early comic creators tackled racism, fascism, sexism, and war, often under the radar and sometimes under fire. From Wonder Woman’s feminist origins to the punk-fueled zines of the ’80s and the guerrilla art of street comics today, we trace how graphic storytelling became a powerful tool for resistance, identity, and cultural transformation.
