Welcome to part two of the history of American comics with comic book historian and writer, Kevin Garcia. Kevin joins the Smoke Circle to discuss American comic's great (roughly) 150 year history and how intertwined they are with the history of America itself.
Through comic books, readers can see reflections of American policies, commonly held beliefs, attitudes about America's place in the world and how America views its citizens, and also, how that all changed over time.
From children to adults, comics have been beloved by all ages and all peoples as readers see themselves reflected in the triumphs and tribulations of their heroes.
