Totally Complete, 100% Accurate, Undebatable History of Comic Books (w/ Ryan Lynch)
This week, we give you a totally complete, 100% accurate, undebatable history of comic books. We’re joined by Ryan Lynch from Divisive Issues who schools us on where comics came from and how we got where we are today. Ever wonder why it matters if a comic had a cover or not? Or why comics became so cheesy in the 50s? We have the answers!
