Why a Comic Book?

Comic books are important for many reasons, occupying a unique niche in pop culture & storytelling. It's up to all of us to defeat "Dr. Apathy", the greatest threat to voters at large. The benefits of teaching civics through a comic book include:

  • Literacy & Education
  • Visual Storytelling
  • Empowerment & Inspiration
  • Creative Development
  • Community & Fandom
  • Escapism & Entertainment
  • Cultural Impact
  • Youth Voter Engagement
  • Understanding Our Rights & Freedoms
  • Why It's Important to Exercise One's Rights
