Having The Talk

We’re Having the Talk on comic books and superhero culture with Frankie Davi, an American history scholar and comic enthusiast. In an exploration of the intersections between superhero comics and American culture/history, this talk examines the foundations of the genre - starting with the Golden Age heroes of Batman and Superman - and reaches to the political activism found in later age comics like Black Panther. Frankie takes on the hype of marvel movies and reconciles that with the tenured enthusiasm him and other fans of comics have kept alive without mainstream recognition for years.
