Heroes Con 08 - Religion and Philosophy in Comics

Can comics go deeper than surface metaphors concerning myth and worship and explore foundational truths? Can comics depict where human experience touches on the unknowable? And if it can, should it? Two of North America’s finest young cartoonists, Sammy Harkham (Crickets, The Poor Sailor, Kramer’s Ergot) and Kevin Huizenga (Ganges, Curses) explore the question of belief in the comics form in this panel moderated by Tom Spurgeon of the Comics Reporter.
