This episode is another in our Arts and Culture series that highlights film, books and music that raises political consciousness. Graphic novels and comics are some of the best selling publications in the publishing sector. Much of the audience for graphic novels are young adults and raising their political and social consciousness through graphic novels is important for radical political education.
