I found out about a lecture where the speaker used comic book characters to explain the work of philosopher Immanuel Kant.
"Reading Comics" author and ComicsAlliance contributor Douglas Wolk recently got on stage at the Ignite Portland 7 conference (where speakers get 5 minutes and 20 slides to to say whatever they want) and explained the "Critique of Aesthetic Judgment" by Immanuel Kant -- using superhero comics.
Anyone who has ever tried to wade through the nigh-impenetrable writing of Kant -- whom Wolk calls "one of the worst writers of all time" -- will appreciate this lucid and funny breakdown of the basic principles using Starro, "All-Star Superman," and adamantium claws.
