Colloquium: Woke Comic Books and Humanist Values

Woke Comic Books and Humanist Values

Comic books have long exemplified progressive, Humanist values and it's time we talked about them! We'll listen to a superhero radio show before creating our own performance, followed by an inciteful short talk on Marvel's Super Hero Adventures.

David Davidson is a comic book writer, artist and actor from Modesto who studied English at UC Berkeley with a concentration on Pop Culture and Mythology. He's a devout Humanist who worships at the shrine of Kurt Vonnegut. He writes and draws the graphic novel "Armadilla the Invincible", available as comic book and manga.
