An issue of: Radical History Review

This special issue explores the global history, politics, and cultural impact of radical comics, tracing their evolution from underground comix and early political satire to contemporary graphic narratives and comics journalism. It highlights how artists and scholars have used the medium to challenge power, document social struggles, and expand the boundaries of both art and historical storytelling.
