About Comics in Context

Join Marc and Derek, two history teachers and comic book lovers, as we put our favorite comic books into context. Together we will look at claims made for and against certain books and consider how the historical context enhances our understanding of these issues. We'll also have some fun with pop culture references as we find them.

Batman: A Death in the Family (1988) - Is Joker Racist?

In this episode we examine the infamous "A Death in the Family" arc from 1988 by DC comics (Batman 426-429) wherein Joker kills Jason Todd and his estranged mother. Classism, Islamophobia, and racism are all the table as we dive deep into the historical context of this very polarizing story.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
