High Noon Talk: History Through Comics

Program Details

Held on the first Wednesday of every month, High Noon Talks highlight interesting and often untold topics through this casual lunch-time lecture.

Join Kopin, a doctoral student in the American Studies Department at UT for a talk on studying history through comics. His illustrative talk will explore works by an Austin cartoonist named Jack Jackson, who spent years creating underground Texas history comics.
