RedTalk 5: Socialism with Comicbook Characteristics with Cole Netscape Pt. 1

In the first of a two (or maybe three?) episode series, Cole Netscape helps us dig into the origins of the comic book history and trace its development through the decades. Starting with their humble origins in the comic book strip, we discuss how the material incentives, political circumstances, and the machinations of the Capitalists have brought the medium on a painful journey that embodies some of the worst instincts and tendencies of the developing American economy.We jump around a bit toward the end, but its a largely chronological discussion that was a lot of fun. We also get into the heart of the matter of why Comic Books are for the most part, bad, and also, why sometimes, they are wonderful.Find Marvelous!
