In the Truth, Justice, and the American: How Comics Animate Culture presentation, comic books offer up a mirror of our fears and beliefs. We see this in the stories told in comics, the struggles of creators, issues within the industry, and moments when comics have stepped beyond the realm of comics to directly affect the world. Join Jeff Benham in an exploration of how comics have questioned, wriggled, and brawled to become an active force in the evolution of our culture. Look! Up in the Sky! It's not a bird! It's not a plane! It's comics fighting for us all!
