About The Comics Code

In The Comics Code, author Graeme Burk tells stories about comics, and its creators, from the first century of its medium.

Using spoken word, interviews with creators and experts, archival materials, dramatic readings, music and sound effects, Graeme tells the stories behind some of comics’ greatest creations. Some of these stories have never been told before… or never told fully.

We’ll peek behind the page and talk about found and stolen dreams, petty feuds turned ugly, moral panics and witch-hunts… and beautiful stories and creations by talented people that brought wonder, delight and excitement.
