Consider This with David F. Walker and Douglas Wolk
Oregon Humanities presents an onstage conversation with comic book writer and filmmaker David F. Walker, cocreator of Naomi and Bitter Root, and pop culture critic Douglas Wolk, author of All the Marvels. This program is part of Oregon Humanities’ series American Dreams, American Myths, American Hopes, and we’ll discuss how comic books, and especially superhero comics, have embodied the hopes and dreams of many Americans and become a national mythology in their own right.
