Students will analyze different themes in world history--including imperialism, colonialism, war, civil unrest, and revolution--through the medium of the "comic" as it evolved throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Focused topics include the deconstruction of late 19th/early 20th century political cartoons, the creation of the modern comic book, the birth of the super hero, and historical events such as WWI, The Great Depression, WWII, and the Cold War.
