Issue 121: Comics and the AIDS Crisis

from Ten Cent Takes · host Mike Thompson & Jessika Frazer

Our latest deep dive tackles how comics confronted (and often struggled to confront) the AIDS epidemic throughout the 1980s and 90s. There's everything from groundbreaking moments of compassion to outrageously offensive books. We check out what the medium got right, what it got very wrong, and why these stories still matter.
