Welcome back to Make Mine Paperback! PolitiComix continues! Our October of political comics focuses on comics that make political statements. Graham’s selection for the month hits close to home with Harvey Pekar’s Cleveland. A lifelong Cleveland resident, Harvey Pekar pioneered autobiographical comics, mining the mundane for magic. In a month full of books with big political messages, this week we focus on the politics of the everyday with a book that relates more closely to politics as the way that people living in groups make decisions. Come celebrate the ordinary with us!

Welcome back to Make Mine Paperback! PolitiComix continues! Our October of political comics focuses on comics that make political statements. In what’s shaping up to be a month in homage to Alan Moore, Steven selects Watchmen. This classic graphic novel in twelve parts has spawned countless discussions and debates. Set in 1985, in an alternate history United States where superheroes are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, Watchmen asks questions surrounding the nature of patriotism, social and personal responsibility, and whether the ends justify the means. The Doomsday Clock is at five minutes to midnight, so listen in as the boys discuss this pillar of comic book history and try to sneak in a few cocktails before the world ends!
