The Terrific Trio (minus Adan) are joined by guest Jason.
Teaching history and political concepts through comics. Comics
response to 9/11 and other at the time current events that are now
history. Creator’s political points of view matriculate into
their work whether they want them to or not. Light touches as
opposed to heavy touches in storytelling. Captain America in the
1950’s and how he was brought back in the 70’s to make a political
statement. Richard Nixon and the Secret Empire and how that was a
Watergate parallel at the time. Spiderman as a role model for the
archetypical “good neighbor. “Muties” as metaphorical social
commentary. Was Superman vs Muhammad Ali-social commentary or just
a gimmick? Steve Rogers as a terrorist, Sam Wilson saving illegal
immigrants and the evolving face of Captain America.
