HeroesCon 2015: Teaching Comics Through a Historical Context
Read MoreWith the increased spotlight on teaching controversial material in schools we thought it would be fun to discuss methods and approaches for teaching difficult comics and graphic novels. Planned topics include: racial stereotypes, violence, and sexuality. That being said, Parental Guidance is suggested as the conversation may steer toward mature content. Panelists include Mike Kobre (Queens University), Andy Kunka (USC), Dana Hayward (HarperCollins Publishers) and moderator Shawn Daughhetee (The School of Hard Knocks).

Every week the Dollar Bin Comics Podcast brings you insightful podcasts and articles about comics. No, seriously, they do. I really mean it.
Join Andrew Aydin (March/Run), Jonathan Marks Barravechia (Bear Pirate Viking Queen), Matthew K Manning (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, Marvel Action: Avengers), Laura Martin (colorist, if you are a fan of the Dollar Bin podcast, you know who she is), and Chris Sparks (Team Cul De Sac) for insights and updates as we launch the kickstarter campaign to fund this momentous work and begin the work of giving voice to Appalachia through comics.
We’re back and we are kicking things off with Shawn talking about her trip to the annual Borderlands Comics and Games sale. She talks hanging out with J Chris Campbell and picking up a few comics along the way.
Since the day we met Jim Rugg at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find as part of the Afrodesiac tour, he has been a favorite of the Dollar Bin. It is funny to realize that over the last 8 or so years, this is the first Dollar Bin vs Jim Rugg interview.
