Spiegelman, Chabon, Comics

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and illustrator Art Spiegelman storm the two-dimensional storytelling universe of comic books and comic strips. We fight evil with Marvel Comics’ Silver Surfer and we’ll hear from novelist Michael Chabon about the superheroes that inhabit The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Plus, a look at Tony Kushner’s newest play, Homebody/Kabul and remembering George Harrison.
