Explore ‘Comic-Book Reality’ with NOLS Zoom presentation
As part of the Summer Reading Program, the North Olympic Library System (NOLS) presents “Comic-Book Reality: Superheroes and the Power of Representation,” presented by Humanities Washington speaker T. Andrew Wahl, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 29, on Zoom. Register at nols.org or contact a local NOLS branch to receive Zoom link.
Since their debut in the 1930s, comic books have been a regular part of the pop-culture landscape. “While often dismissed as escapist entertainment, these pulp treasures also provide a fascinating lens through which to view our nation’s past, present, and potential future,” program organizers say.
In this interactive presentation, Wahl — a Humanities Washington speaker, journalist and educator — explores how everything from social movements to business concerns to changing demographics have shaped the reality seen in the pages of comics, drawing from comics including “Black Panther,” “Wonder Woman,” “Captain America” and others.
