NON-FICTION COMICS by Various

They say life is stranger than fiction, which is good because when cartoonists turn their attentions to telling stories about real life people and events, they have a lot of competition with all the universes of imaginary characters crowding the shelves. On today’s episode, the boys eschew the usual single-title spotlight to take a look at some OGNs that tell real stories in ways just as entertaining as their fictional counterparts:      -SHACKLETON: ANTARCTIC ODYSSEY by Nick Bertozzi      -THE HYPO by Noah Van Sciver      -FEYNMAN by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick      -BOXERS & SAINTS by Gene Luen Yang      -WOMAN REBEL: THE MARGARET SANGER STORY by Peter Bagge All those works plus some other non-fiction favorites show up in this discussion-slash-rumination on the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges comics creators face when trying to bring real life to the printed page.
